Cultural Geographies, 22(1), 103-126. doi:10.1177/1474474013491927 The article is published on January 2015 which describes the history of jogging. I have found few important points in the article.

2) It discusses about the healing power of jogging to mental illness.
3) Jogging was mainly practiced by middle-aged people.
4) It discusses about the shaping of the body through jogging.
