What are the benefits of cooldown walks after running/jogging?

I was told by someone I should do cooldown walks after jogging. How does this help? After jogging, I'm already tired.

from what I've heard it keeps blood flowing and lets muscles release/get rid of some extra lactic acid, making for less soreness. and sort of acts as a cool down stretch
