Does it really?Does it say "You burn exactly the same amount of energy walking than you do running"

Pedantry asideI bet it doesn't state that walking and running require an identical amount of energy.

where did I say Identical or exact?I didn't. I said "Around". Ie - not the exact same amount.

You said this"the same amount of energy gets burnt whether you're running or walking"
Which doesn't leave any wiggle room about "around" or "exact"

it's about 50% more energy for runningfor a given speed. I can't find the reference though, sorry.

It does though dunnit?moving one lump of stuff from point a to point b always requires the same amount of energy if all things are equal.
.... I'm confusing myself now.

But they aren't equal are they.It's the same as walking up a slope versus stairs. Stairs are apparently more efficient.

It's true, if you walk 25 miles or run for 20 miles, you'll burn the same amount of energy.(
