I'm an amateur runner and I'm struggling a bit with Japanese vocabulary on the
topic of running. The phrase that gives me special trouble is "go for a run".
I'm not sure how to convey the meaning of running as training in Japanese.
Let's say I want to say

> I go for a run every morning.

So far I tried:

> 毎朝ジョギングしている。

Well, in English jogging is a slow run, not really training. Is it the same in
Japanese?

> 毎朝走っている。

Is 走る suitable here? Isn't it just describing the action of running, not
conveying the idea of training?

> 毎朝走りこんでいる。

Someone told me 走りこむ is more suitable to describe training. Is that true?

What would be the best phrase to describe "going for a run"?

"I went for a run" - how to say this in Japanese?
I've heard the straight-up katakana ランニング used in this way before. The
following example sentence from 大辞泉 seems to support that as well:

> 健康のため毎朝ランニングをする。

Here are the definitions for ランニング and ジョギング, per 大辞林:

> **ランニング**  
>  走ること。
>
> **ジョギング**  
>  ゆっくり走ること。競走前のウォーミング-アップ，気分転換や健康のために行われる。

Based on the definitions as written, it would appear that the same
distinctions between the two words are maintained in Japanese.
