How many calories does running burn?

How many more calories do you burn running than walking?

  • okay i run cross country... but it is mainly to stay in shape...the problem is... i have a short attention span and i get bored on the 7 mile runs...and just want to start walking after about 4. sometimes i'm not tired, but my legs are sore from shin splints and my hip is sore cause i have a weak hip due to a previous injury, and i just want to stop. do i still burn a lot of calories. I run good during the races cause they are only 3 miles and i can run them pretty fast..and since it is a race, the competitive side of me takes over and i don't get bored so do i still burn a lot of calories walking? also how do i not loose any weight after a 70 mile week in big bear (It's a mountain, we ran a lot of uphill, never ending switchbacks)? not that i need to loose weight, but i sure don't want to gain any... i am 5'6 124 pounds.. but i think it is all muscle...
