Sensible old woman goes on jog, back in training (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nurture

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'training' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sensible old woman goes on jog back' is the wordplay.
'sensible old woman goes' becomes 'ture' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'jog' becomes 'run' (I've seen this in another clue).
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'run' back-to-front is 'nur'.
'ture' put after 'nur' is 'NURTURE'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nurture that I've seen before include "Encourage to develop" , "Training" , "Cultivate" , "Raise" , "Cherish (a hope/belief)" .)
