How it's used
Refers specifically to the sport or activity of running over significant distances rather than just jogging for fitness. It often implies a structured event or a serious training regimen. While it can describe the act, it is frequently used as a noun to categorize the type of race or athletic pursuit.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe casual jogging around the block, as that is better expressed as 慢跑. Using it for short, casual exercise sounds like you are training for a professional marathon.
