Calories burnt on a trail run?

Hi all-

I usually run trails on weekends- these are hilly trails, where I cannot maintain my usual pace.
How can I log those runs?
I usually run for about an hour- about 4 miles of hilly trails.

    Hey,

    I went for a walk last weekend on some hilly trails in the woods and I was wearing a heart rate monitor which counts the number of calories burned. I don't know if this will help you at all but I burned 600 calories walking briskly for an hour. So, if you're running the same kind of trails you would probably be burning more than that.

    Hope that helps somewhat!
