Joggers are the ones more concerned with how they look than what they
are doing.  Thus the additional stress of this burns an additional 
140 calories.  Excuse me while I take a look in the mirror and blow
off 140 calories... :)

Personally I think that the authors are a little confused.  The difference
between jogging and running is a state of mind.  However, there is a 
difference between running/jogging and walking/race-walking.  This has
to do with the stride.

Any biomechanical people know what the differences are?
