Apologies, I misinterpreted the results. The second study did show increased energy consumption for higher speeds of running, but from what I can tell these increases are linear meaning that speed does not impact energy consumption (because time taken also increases linearly - therefore total energy consumption stays the…

The second study indicates higher energy consumption for higher speeds of running over the same distance.

How about we actually refer to some properly published and peer-reviewed studies instead of basing it on uninformed theory and hearsay.... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15570150 - CONCLUSION: Running has a greater energy cost than walking on both the track and treadmill http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11296999 -…
