Question for the RUNNERS out there
Do you think its better to run a straight 3+ miles or run and walk? I was running 3 straight miles (5.5mph. 32 min). I took 3 weeks off and am just getting back to running. But I see a lot of ppl who run a few minutes then walk?

Calories Burned, Go by MFP or my treadmill?
Today I did 98 min of cardiovascular including running 5.5 mph (11) min miles. And walking 3-3.5 for an hr. My treadmill said I burned 820 calories and MFP says only 652! To me that's a big difference! What do you go by? My treadmill always gives me higher numbers!!!

Who is and Who isn't?
