As a sanity check for running you can estimate your net calories expended using the following formula (courtesy of Runners World)
.63 x weight in lbs x distance in miles
eg: a 200lb person would expend about 126 cal / mile (assuming relatively level terrain)2 -

My husband weighs twice what I do and runs at the same pace as me, so he usually gets almost twice the burn on a treadmill counter. Running calculators say he burns 1.5x what I do instead of 2x. So while the treadmill readouts aren't really accurate, heavier people do burn significantly more...1 -

I did this test on a 5 mile run (outside I might add) and according to this my 5.0 mile run would have burned 346 calories, my forerunner hrm came to be 395.. so pretty close..1 -

Do you have a source for this? I don't doubt you, but I was in a debate on a bike forum with somebody who insisted that walking and running burn the same number of calories for the same distance, kept saying that running only gets it over with more quickly. I pointed out that running involves jumping and is more physical work, but to no avail. Being able to cite this would have been useful.1 -

As highlighted upthread, bodymass and distance are the key points.
For me, at 160lbs, I'll need to run 10 miles to burn 1000 cals. My best 10 mile time is 80 minutes.
If I were 320lbs then it would only take 5 miles to burn 1000 calories. Having never been 320lbs I've got no idea whether running 5 miles in an hour is realistic at that weight.
Wouldn't disagree that some treadmills might display that figure, it's just not credible though.0 -

Running burns roughly double the number of calories compared to walking the same distance.

You could also point the guy to a MET values diagram. Running MET is roughly double that of walking.1 -
I'm using the Polar H7 hrm along with the Polar Beats app and my 45 minute treadmill run tonight calculated at around 750 cals. I was varying my incline but ended up with a 156 bpm average. Sound about right?3

971 calories in an hour running ?
With METs at 8 for running in place that would imply that you weigh 121kg / 267 lbs ..if you keep up a steady running pace

I weigh 238lbs right now which I guess would almost be about right.0 -

How far did you run? How much do you weigh? (There is not a linear relationship between heart rate & caloric expenditure....) 750 cal in 45 minutes sounds optimistic.......0 -

I'm at 203 and did 4 miles at a straight 6mph with a .25 mile cool down. Again the app calculated the calories burned and has my weight in it.1 -

Actually it's like 4.3 miles within the hour and a 6" incline the whole time0
