Definition
跑步 (pǎo bù) means 'to run, to jog' and refers to the activity of running for exercise. Unlike the single verb 跑, which is more general ('to run, to escape') and doesn't specify purpose, 跑步 is a separable verb (跑…步) used specifically for jogging or running as a sport. 走路 (zǒu lù) means 'to walk' and is its opposite.
