Calorie burn is determined by intensity of workload, not by activity.0

Degree for degree of incline, you will burn the same calories per mile, walking or running.
So, for your question, it depends on the amount of incline for walking.
Now, why is your heart rate so much higher for running than walking (Regardless of incline)? Intensity.
Which is "better"? Subjective. What are your goals? Both work different systems. Walking with a high degree of incline works your lower body very heavily, whereas running taxes your cardiovascular system.0 -

How are you judging your burn
Also intensity matters
When jogging on a treadmill it should at least be at 1% incline0
