    I would like to upologise to everyone for being a jerk.

    Things have changed since I was in the Army, and instead of admitting I was wrong, I just kept on being a jerk to people.

    I only hope people can forgive me.
    I don't believe you were being a jerk. You were just holding steadfast to what you knew. It happens. I got schooled on here a couple years back by a physics professor (running vs walking a mile calorie burn) and readily admitted that I was incorrect. There's no shame in it if you learn correct information to pass on to others.

    So what did your physics professor say burned more calories? Running or walking a mile? I'd really like to know, as it has always been my contention (from a high school gym teacher many, many years ago) that a mile is a mile whether you walk slow, walk fast, jog, or run. Thanks!
    Running a mile burns approximately 50 more calories per each individual. That may not seem like much if it's just a mile, but 4 miles would be 200 calories more than walking and for many that's significant if they are on a low calorie diet.

    Is that during a certain time frame, or total no matter what time frame? If I walked a mile in half an hour and stopped, or if I walked a mile in 20 minutes and stopped for ten minutes, or if I jogged a mile in 15 minutes and stopped for 15 minutes, or if I ran a mile in 10 minutes and stopped for 20 minutes, running the mile would burn 50 more calories?

    It was based on physics formula for work. I would think that if distance for both would be consistent as well as the actual effort for both, the result also would be.
