    I know. Nothing is perfect. I built a spread sheet that compared METs with this net equation in metric and then use a database entry here that gives me a similar number. I do wonder if speed really plays a role as in its most basic form movement is just mass moved over a certain distance (if we ignore friction, gradients and such). If any then it would probably be a very small difference. If you look at the Compendium of Physical Exercise and look up the Met values for various running speeds then you get rather similar distances. Thus speed might be factored in my means of distance.
