    If you go into 'exercise, cardiovascular training' and put in walking it'll give you a rough idea...MFP does overestimate but I usually shave off around a third.
    Other alternative is to get a HRM

    It also depends on your weight, the leaner and less you weigh the less cals you'll burn off.

    For 90 I get the following:

    2 mph (slow pace) = 242 cals
    3 mph (moderate pace) = 319 cals
    3.5 mph (brisk) = 368 cals
    4 mph (very brisk) = 484 cals
    4.5 mph (very very brisk) = 610 cals

    However I also find these are way over and pick the lower avg speed.

    If you are doing 5 miles in 90mins you would need to go at 3.3 mph ie 60 / (90/5).
