This morning I logged 2.7 miles, ran about 40%. I still logged it as walking. The pace would put me at 11.5 minutes to run a mile. I don't know if I start logging as running after 50% or wait until I'm at 100 %. Just keep adding a little at a time!

2nd POST: Continued part 1..
it is not a run until your stride becomes longer than it would take to have both legs straight and lengthened and on the ground at the same time. Once your body is forced to "jump" "canter" "jog" (pick up the back foot at a faster rate in order to propel the body moving at the pace it is) it becomes a jog. the faster the body goes it becomes a run. I don't think there is a set number. But, I know that we gain the most heart healthy benefits around 75% our max effort.

In general, you are burning 100 calories a mile whether walking or running. If you are really wanting to say you are running, you can slow down a little and run the whole time. But really, you are burning 270 for that 2.7 miles whether it takes you 20 hours or 20 minutes.

running can be defined by the stress on the joints or the percentage of hardest. I believe its defined typically as the fore-runner. running means anytime you have just one leg on the ground before the other leg reaches the ground. (jogging is running at a slow pace)
The biomechanics of running

looking up the biomechanics of running may give you better insight into how to run specifically and findings with that. I still think its defined as once one foot is on the ground at a time is a run, to jog is to run at a slow pace) your only walking if both feet are on the ground at the same time. (except of course when striding forward).
For example in a walk: when you are in your stride (legs are long) both legs are on the ground. It is not until you pick up the back foot that one leg is on the ground (this is not running because your front leg is still straight).
