[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you’re extremely fit or petite, I also think your calories burned sounds really low.  I burn closer to 400 calories running 4 miles according to my chest heart rate monitor.[/quote]
But how fast do you run?[/quote]

While calories burned walking vs. running are quite different, there actually isn't a huge difference in running speed as far as calories go. Running in general, no matter your speed, is a different biomechanic than walking and burns considerably more calories, but a mile at 6min vs 10min isn't going to be hugely different. They are both going to get your heart pumping hard.

And the calories burned depend on a person's weight or body mass. But I agree that OP's still are quite low, unless she was walking a chunk of those 4 miles. [/quote]
Source?   Personally, I experience a 6:00 mile (lots of effort) very differently than a 10:00 mile (about like walking)[/quote]

It's different effort for sure, but the calories are not likely to be different mile for mile. But congratulations if a 10min pace is like walking for you![/quote]
