Also a dumb take. My "jog" is probably your flat out pace. Why are you so intent on judging people on how much they are "pushing themselves"?
There is also polarized training to consider. So we have that.

It depends on the person. Some people may be beginners and may be intentionally blending running and walking. Some people may be doing it for a lower-impact workout. Some may have slowed down to talk to a friend. Could be anything ... doesn't mean they miscalculated!
When I'm walking, I get sort of embarrassed. I like to be seen jogging.
Nobody cares what you are doing. They are all wrapped in their own lives or problems.
You don’t admire the pretty sporty gals who are always running by you at a strong clip? They look more vigorous is all.
WTF
No. People who only jog aren't pushing themselves as much as they can. I can always walk after I can't continue jogging so I push myself, and I do can't about how I look doing it because it's not about that. It's about doing the thing.

At the higher end of volume during a build for a race I’m getting up into 150+ miles on a bike and 40+ miles of running per week. I know from experience where the patella tendinopathy line is and when I’m getting close. So this week I was doing 1 mile x 90 seconds off x 4 at like 6-6:10/mile. I walked those 90 seconds. I doubt OP would be so concerned with my fitness if they knew that.
Overall moral is stay in your lane and leave your judgment out of it. At least people are moving, which is better than the vast majority of those in the developed world these days.
What does developed have to do wut h the price of bewnsv

Long time runner here - If I'm not feeling great, I would rather stop for more breaks and water than walk. I guess in my mind walking feels slow and inefficient when I just want to get home and eat/relax so I'd rather just push through it the best I can.
It would never occur to me to judge anyone's fitness level because they're walking. I go on a lot of walks too and sometimes wear the same thing as when I run.

Why?
How weird it must be to care what other people think of you. I mean that’s just bizarre and abnormal.

Please never judge yourself or anyone else for walking or running slowly or whatever. As other posters have noted, there are many reasons for this and being out there doing something is more important that any self imposed rules or what someone else might think.

OP I think you should ask all the people who you see walking around whether they miscalculated or just got tired. I'm sure they would be really receptive.

I do an out and back. The out is a timed run while listening to music, and then I do a cooldown walk back while listening to my podcast. I don’t want to be dripping with sweat at the end, and I don’t like running to a podcast.

That's some I'm the main character energy right there. Literally no one is looking at you. Or maybe OP is, but who cares because she's a see you next Tuesday.
Haha, I agree with this.
I have to stop periodically and walk during my runs because of my terrible plantar fasciitis. I know I should stop running but I can’t help myself.

I run 3x a week around 5-6 miles. On other days I might do a walk/run hiit style outside (usually using peloton app). Sometimes on my run days I have extra time and walk for 20 at the end etc.
Rarely a miscalculation or because I got too tired (though the latter has happened over the years).

I do interval runs on the days I am also lifting and then do my long run (6 miles) with no stops on Sundays. I never thought anyone would think I stopped because I had to. Your post is showing your stupidity.
