After he went 1/4 of the distance, 3/4 remained and he jogged 1/2 of this.....so ....  1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8 of the distance is what he jogged

And the distance he had left  is  1 - (1/4) -(3/8) = 8/8 - 2/8 - 3/8 =  3/8

So 3/8 of the distance he walked and this  = 800m

So

8/3 x 800  = 2133+1/3 m   was the total distance
