2988. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "If I go quickly between Safa and Marwah, that is because I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ going quickly, and if I walk that is because I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ walking, even though I am an old man."(Hasan)
2988 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: إِنْ أَسْعَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا، وَالْمَرْوَةِ، فَقَدْ «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْعَى وَإِنْ أَمْشِ، فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي، وَأَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ»

During Sa'y between Safa and Marwah, jogging in the valley (between the green markers) is Sunnah. If one, due to his old age, sickness or weakness, cannot jog, then he may fulfill this obligation by walking. Ibn 'Umar ﷺ mentioned his old age as an excuse, which indicates that if there is no excuse jogging is recommended.
