English term or phrase: running
she likes to swim, run and bike.
frey cleaners
French translation:Jogging and course
Explanation:
they are both correct. In French, "course" can be use both for "course à pied" (running)and "course de voiture" (racing). For example, at the olympic they use the term "course du 100 metres" and not "jogging du 100 mètres". Jogging is mostly used when a person gets up in the morning and go for a run (this is a rough example).
Depending on the whole document, they both can be used
Hope this helps!

6 hrs
jogging


Explanation:
"Elle fait de la natation, du jogging et du vélo." This is the most ususal way of saying it. In written French, like on a resume or something, you might say: "Elle pratique la natation, le jogging et le cyclisme." "Course" is used for "racing". You can never say "faire le vélo". It has to be "faire du vélo". Have a day.

jogging ou footing?


Explanation:
For France you should prefer"footing" to "jogging" as the latter is often understood to be the clothing worn by people who run. Maybe "courir" would be the best. Hope it helps
