Is it ok for running (mostly paved trails), or is a true jogger the way to go?

I'd recommend getting a jogger, or the City Mini GT with the forever air tires. The forever air tires are made to go on any pavement / grass, etc. Hope this helps.

I've used mine for jogging on pavement and it's great. You just lock the front tires and it's very stable and easy to steer. Also, this stroller does have suspension (hidden in the rear frame forks) so it's actually quite a comfortable ride on the run. Of course the suspension is nowhere near as much as a jogger would have, but even so, for simple runs on pavement I use my Vista instead of my BOB.

The max speed is 4 miles per hour, which could get you to a decent jog. But its not really designed for running. It doesn't have hand rails to hang onto, or padding to cushion the stride.

Gravel? Not at all. Sidewalk bumps? Sure. This is an "urban" stroller. Perfect for pavement, shopping malls, stuff like that. I take my kids to the park and it's fine going from the car through the grass/trail to the play area, but only in short bursts. We purchased a Bob jogging stroller for jogging and any "off-roading" that we do. The bigger, pneumatic tires are what you need for those types of environments.

It collapses easily but is quite cumbersome even when collapsed. Not ideal for travel. We travel from Michigan to North Carolina frequently. We have one at home and one in North Carolina. LOVE the jogger, but honestly, it's best for running, hiking, walking. The fixed front wheel is perfect for runners but can be difficult to maneuver if you're trying to use it for shopping, errands, etc. We keep an inexpensive umbrella stroller in the car for that reason.

No this stroller is not meant for jogging. It's ok on dirt. You'd probably want a double Bob if you want to jog and or hike

SLMHP, I use mine for very active zumba, Yoga, aerobics and never have a problem. Since it is fully adjustable for tightness and support, I say that Yes you could use this to support when running. Probably may have to adjust the tightness once or twice during the run depending on distance.

Should be OK for jogging as it is very light weight and small. Has a "hold" feature to keep in on stations. Just remember, weak signal stations may fade in and out.

It is good for me and I use it only when outside weather doesn't allow me to walk my 3-mile circuit. I find you can exert yourself more or less as you choose; there are times when I wish this did have more resistance. It sounds as though you are a seasoned fast walker or runner. If so, the Supreme with more resistance would probably be better for you. I didn't know there was one or I may have gotten that instead.

Absolutely! Just adjust to get a good fit, and you'll be ready to go. The cord is a bit rigid, which could be a little annoying for gym use, but running would work!

Depends. Are you planning on jogging and or walking on trails? If so you would want a real jogging stroller that is built for that. On the occasional dirt road it will work. I love my mini but I mostly just use it on sidewalks. If you are looking for a stroller that can be and do everything I'm not sure it exists. But if most of the time you need a stroller that folds nice, offers a smooth ride under normal conditions, and fits in small store aisles then this will work for you.

Depends on what your gonna do with them. Jog? No I would not advise that. I do know a good pair for jogging. But these are decently tight, but I'm female and have a small head.

I have not... but its kind of bulky for running. I think there are better options out there.

I use mine for walking but I think they would be just fine for running. You can get the low padding ones to avoid bulk.

yes, you can run - it can go pretty fast! I cannot keep up with the high speeds! it's awesome! I can walk, jog or run.

I have this stroller and while it's definitely not as light and easy to push as a real jogger like the BOB, I've found that on a decently smooth city jogging trail (like the one close to my house), I can do a slow jog and push it just fine. And slow jogging is all I'm doing these days, post baby. :)

I run with it,full sprint. It's not really made for it,the pocket weights ,two to be exact,came out while running.Im 5'7,125 lbs,sweat like champ with it on,which isnt totally bad . Mild jogging is applicable with the vest though.
