Zombies Run 5k Calorie Tracking

Hello, everyone!
I'm a newbie to Zombies, Run 5k...and I've heard its calorie tracking isn't great. It's difficult to use Endomondo with it, though, because you're doing a bunch of things instead of just running or just walking.
How do y'all track your calories with ZR5k? I'd love tips--I'm a poor grad student, though, so a HRM isn't really in the cards for me right now.

I love that app...I use it on a treadmill though so I just use the treadmills calculations. If you are going outside try just putting the miles you go or average speed into the calculators on here.0

So, something like Endomondo does?0

What I've been doing is setting Endomondo to "walk" because I'm so new at it, so that is the bulk of the workout...but as things get more complicated how do you track it?0

The app has built in gps tracking and an accelerometer, so you can take your miles you have traveled in the end and figure out your miles per hour then go into MFP and manually enter your exercise using a walk/jog option with x mph at x minutes and it will calculate your calories burned for you.
edit to add* I just do an average pace for the whole workout instead of figuring out run vs. walk.0
