They prefer jogging to brisk walking because exercising faster can help them lose more fat.

However, the new research titled “UK Biobank Cohort Survey Reveals Causal Associations Between Self-Reported Walking Pace and Telomere Length” explained that slow walks may actually help slow biological aging.
