Ok so can someone explain to me why according to runtastic I burnt more calories doing 1.7 Kms in 32 mins than doing 1.9 Kms iin 30 mins. I know it's not much, I'm just curious really. I would have thought the longer/faster in less time would burn more calories. I like to know how this calorie burning stuff is working
Thanks
Thanks

In general speed doesn't matter too much for your burn while running, distance does (Except of course, you take less time burning the same amount).
So running 2 miles in 30 minutes should burn the same as 2 miles in 20 minutes. Which makes your results weird. Did you alter your weight between the two runs for example?0 -
Runtastic counts calories even if you don't move (I once left it on overnight and had 2000+calories "burned"). And you're right, the slower you walk, the more calories per km it counts. Personally I use it to track my mileage but I don't pay much attention to the calories burned.0
