There has to be at least one surely?

Two people same age/weight/metabolic rate etc

One runs five miles & the other walks five miles

Both would burn the same amount of calories?

It didn't sound right when I was told this many moons ago but it came up in a conversation last night & the more I think about the more it perhaps makes sense after all the walker would be exercising for a lot longer than the runner :blink:
