    Hmm -- if you weigh about 90 kg and you jog/run about 7km, that MIGHT burn maybe 500 calories, at best.

    So, seven days times 500 calories is 3500 calories.

    Another way to look at it - about 50km jogging for 3500 calories - that's if you weigh 90kg.

    If you weigh less, you burn far less calories when jogging a given distance, and if you weigh more, you burn far more calories when jogging a given distance.

    For humans, walking gait is far more efficient than running gait - it's about twice as efficient - you'd need to walk at least 100km to burn 3500 calories.

    Depends on the elevation and the speed your walking.

    Great idea! This sounds like something I definitely need to give myself that extra push! I've been running more and getting in better shape which means burning less calories doing the same run. I need motivation to take that to mean that I need to run longer or mix things up a bit!
