    well I am going to do another 10K in the morning--so will use Garmin and MAPMYRUN--and my friend has a HRM, and will be running with me---we'll see how the data looks---I just want to make sure I am not losing my deficit by end of day! Aiming for a 1000+ calorie deficit each day to get 2 pounds off a week.

    I ran 6 miles yesterday at an 8:20 pace. MapMyRun said I burned 984 calories. Yeah, right.

    I ran a 10K(well run/walk) in 71 minutes Saturday. Garmin gave me 1010, Strava 1149, and Mapmyrun, 1089.

    General rule of thumb I've found is 10 calories per minute running and 5 calories per minute weights...other cardio ( elliptical, stair master, plyo...,I figure around 7 calories per minute)

    I ran 10k yesterday (first time woo) and my Apple Watch gave me 560 cals. By the above math I burned 540 (I weigh 135). Close enough for me!

    I would estimate you burned 500-1000 cals- about 100 cals per mile for a 150 lb person

    So how much does running on an incline increase your calorie burn?

    OP forget the calorie burn, I'm kinda impressed with the 62 minute 10K. 10 minute miles is a good pace to keep over 10K. Congrats.

    10,000 steps is only 500 calories if you weigh 150 or so and some of that would probably be counted in your BMR.

    10,000 steps walking would be closer to a net of 225 cal for a person weighing 150 lbs, walking burns roughly half of what running the same distance does (.30 x weight in lbs x distance in miles)

    Varies with the incline (one estimate I've come across suggests about a 20% increase for a 5% incline)

    OP - I use the .63 x weight x distance as my sanity check for my Garmin and it's usually very close to that.

    As a very rough guide, you burn around 100 calories per mile run.

    So rough as to be useless for everybody who isn't about 150 pounds.

    If you're c160lbs

    Hence why I said a rough guide, the point is it's not going to be less, so in answer to the original question, quite clearly it's not going to be 391 calories for a 10k.

    I am 118 pounds I just eat what my FitBit says but would generally say 25 per mile biked, 50 per mile walked, and 75 per mile ran before I got the FitBit. Seems to be a generally accurate way for me to estimate my expenditure at my weight.

    I hate when apps do that. It's so discouraging. Congrats on your achievement. That's awesome!
