Gavin Hastings used to front a TV ad for Scottish Health (now there's a good example of oxymoron).

He started by asking the question, "Did you know that walking a mile uses up the same energy, or calories, as running a mile?"

Presumably it is a matter of the duration of the exercise. You can probably run a mile in under eight minutes but it would probably take 15-20 minutes to walk it.
