Just finished a 4 mile run, the sync isn't working so I manually added Run 5.2 for 46 minutes and it gave me almost half the calories burned as MMR gave me. It was a very flat path so shouldn't be incline. Are there always discrepancies between these two apps?

    Mapmyrun generously overestimates calorie burn by a lot. That's one of the reasons I bought a Garmin watch with HR monitor
