Running - Logging in Exercise

DebbieLaviolette

I looked at the exercise options and it's very limited. I use a Garmin and since I'm just starrting back I'm taking a lot of walk breaks. I guess I can create my own "run\walk" excercise and log my time and calories from my garmin? Does that sound like the way I should log this?

When I started I was run/walking. Mostly walking. I would log it as two seperate activities. Log my walking and log my running minutes. You can play with the minutes so the calories burned match your Garmin.

Running and walking burn almost the same calories per mile unless you are running like a Kenyan sprinter or the world-record holder for whatever distance you're attempting.

It's roughly 100 calories per mile, no matter how quickly you travel them. So just log it that way.

Thanks for the feedback y'all.
