How it's used
Although 緩步跑 is the standard term for jogging, it is relatively formal and often appears in health articles or official sports guidelines. In casual daily conversation, many Hong Kongers simply use the English loanword 跑步 or the specific phrase 慢跑 to describe the same activity.
Examples
He goes jogging every morning.
Are you interested in going for a jog together tomorrow?
