Their male subjects burned 105 calories running, 52 walking; the women, 91 and 43. That is, running burns twice as many net calories per mile as walking. And since you can run two miles in the time it takes to walk one mile, running burns four times as many net calories per hour as walking.
The study showed that the more they walked, the less weight they gained. Depending on your intensity level, you can burn 204 to 305 calories walking for a one-hour duration at 2 mph.
