Jogging slow vs running fast?

Question

which burns more calories?

1) Run at 8mph for 4 miles without stopping in 80 degree weather. Drink water only when finished. 30 minute total workout.

2) jog slowly at 6mph for 1 mile. stop catch breath, walk for .1 miles before jogging again. repeat 4 times. 50 degree weather. Drinking water when needed. grand total of 4.4 miles. 60 minutes total workout.

Answer 1

Both are beneficial.

Running fast- ( i.e. sprinting) works the fast twitch muscles in your body.

Running slow- (i.e long distance) works the slow twitch muscles in your body

Answer 2

More than one variable here, so I'd say the 1st one will burn more calories.....est. guess of 450 for #1 and #350-400 (depending on person) for #2 .  The fact that it is 80 degrees and running at a 7:30 mile/pace for 4 Mi. they will get heart rate up much higher and therefore burning calories at a faster rate.  With only 50 degrees and jogging slowly those in shape won't lose many calories

Answer 3

Jogging, more time and more miles equals more calories.

Answer 4

The activities are almost the same as far as calories burned.
