    Neither.

    Exercise can be a contributing factor for weight loss, but weight loss is all about having a calorie deficit.

    Calorie deficit for weight loss
    Exercise for Cardiovascular health and other benefits

    Running and speed walking are both exercise that gets you moving, so both are equally awesome.

    One is a modified version of the other. Assuming you don't have physical limitations, running would probably elevate your heart rate more, causing you to burn more calories than if you were to spend the same amount of time as speed walking.
    Burning calories will raise your deficit.
