    FYI- Here are the formulas:

    Given how often these formulas are quoted on these forums, I’m not quite sure how things have gotten so jumbled on this thread. Maybe because of all the time references?

    You burn the same number of calories (per
    mile) running a 12 minute mile or a 4 minute mile.

    You will burn more calories (per minute) running a 4 minute mile than running a 12 minute mile. But if you stop at a mile-you’ll burn the same total number of calories for that mile.

    You burn the same number of calories (per mile) walking a 30 minute mile or a 15 minute mile.

    Again-you’ll burn more calories per minute at the faster pace, but it’ll be the same total number of calories at the end of a mile (just takes longer to get there at the slower pace).

    You will not burn the same number of calories walking a mile as you will running a mile.

    You burn roughly twice as many calories running a mile as you do walking a mile.

    These formulas are quoted on the forums daily. Multiple times.

    I’m thinking wires are getting crossed with all the calories per minute discussion? Idk.
