You can measure Calories burned two ways; Calories over time or Calories over distance. For running, you burn the same number of Calories to cover a given distance regardless of pace. The number of Calories burned running depends only on your weight and the slope. For walking, your pace also makes a difference; the faster you walk the more Calories it takes to cover the distance. There are various formulas for calculating Calories burned<ref name="Givoni-1971"/><ref name="Minetti-2002"/>, but there is a wide variation based on [[Running Efficiency Calculator| Efficiency]]. For instance Paula Radcliffe improved her [[Running Economy]] by nearly 20% over 10 years. The tables below default to showing values for a 150 pound person, but you can use the form at the bottom of the page to generate tables specific to your body weight. (Selecting Kg will change the distances units to Km.)=The difference between Running and Walking=Running and walking are two different forms of movement. In running you either have one foot on the ground or both feet in the air; both feet are never on the ground at the same time. In contrast, when walking you either have one or both feet on the ground and never have both feet in the air.
