Comments on: Juggling on a trampoline http://justyouraveragejoggler.com/juggling-on-a-trampoline/ Joggling blog about long distance running, juggling and the sport of combining both called joggling. It was created to be a useful resource for anyone interested in learning to become a better runner, better juggler, and even a joggler.

It's very easy on my knees (I have arthritis in both). I have tried without success to find a way to measure the distance I am covering when I jog at a steady pace for an hour (or more). Most pedometers are for walking or jogging on a hard surface and I'm told the bounce on the trampoline renders these pedometers useless. If anyone knows how I might calculate the distance I am covering, please let me know. I jog every day for an hour or more and simulate as best as I can what it would be to jog. I think it's better than jogging but I don't think I burn as many calories. Thanks. I hope to hear from someone (perhaps step-counters work? haven't checked those at a sports shop yet).

Would have been more impressive. I will say that wasn't your longest run, it just happened to be the one we filmed. Nice job. I tried it and couldn't do more than 3 catches/throws.
