Hey there! I'm been consistently walking/jogging a 3K in 30minutes or less,but I'm not sure how to enter it into my diary since it's all added by mph.

Can anyone give me an indication of how I should be entering this in? I know that this isn't impressive, but I want to make sure that I'm not over estimating or under estimating. Thanks! :happy:

    3k in 30 minutes would be 3.7 mph.

    You're really hoofing it! WTG!

    You can do it a couple of different ways. You can use 100 calories per mile, which would put you at roughly 200 calories. Or, you can go by your pace, which is around 2mph for 30 minutes.

    *sorry, I thought you said 5K at first for some reason, so I had to come back and edit.*

    Well, 3k= 1.86 miles. So you walk 3.72 miles per hour (1.86 in 30 minutes x 2). Use that. :)

    3K = 1.864 miles. Since it took you 30 minutes you multiply by 2 (for 60 minutes) = 3.728 mph

    So you'll put in Walking at 3.5 mph for 30 minutes under Cardiovascular Exercise (it'll figure out the calories for you based on your current weight).

    :smile: you should by a pedometer and wear it through out the day it counts your steps and let you know how many calories you are burning
