So the slower you run the more calories you burn - that works for me I am a slow one. (shuffle, shuffle, shuffle)

In that case I must burn 10,000 calories when I run!

Glad you are doing fine eating atkins and working out.

the amount of calories you burn while running depends on a few things. first being age and wieght but also the speed. if you run 6 miles in an hour you will burn less calories than if you ran those same 6 miles at a slower pace and did it in 90 minutes. i plugged the numbers in at a website i use. it shows someone weighing 150 pounds that runs 6 miles in 90 minutes will burn 1000 calories. if you run those same 6 miles in an hour you would burn about 680.

is your site calculating the burned cals for the whole body? if so you need to account for the 30 mins not in the run.

on my treadmill I know the faster you go the more cals you burn per minute with a big jump at 5.5 MPH as that is where the treadmill programmers decided one was running and not walking cause that is the speed the DANDEROUS TO USE HEART RATE MONITOR WHILE RUNNING warning kicks in. (seems folk fall down if they are running and holding the handle of the monitor.)
