light jog

Gentle running pace

A light jog is easy running at a relaxed pace, slower than a full jog and much slower than a sprint.

It's the kind of running where you can still hold a conversation: I went for a light jog around the neighborhood.

Often used for warm-ups, cool-downs, or gentle exercise.
