    If you don't have an HRM, use this formula:

    Running: [your weight] x 0.63 x [miles run]
    Walking: [your weight] x 0.30 x [miles run]

    I see you've already gotten a great answer but I just wanted to add that my treadmill is a filthy liar or it thinks I am the least fit person EVER. It would have given me about 200% of my actual burn per my HRM. *rolls eyes* It's impossible to know 100% for sure but do the best you can. You're obviously a logical person ????

    Get a heart rate monitor for a more accurate number. Otherwise, use the lower number. That's what I would do.

    ~200 for a half hour of walking sounds about right
