Statistics

Calculations are based on your weight of 70 kgs, a walking speed of "Typical speed - 3 mph", a cycling speed of "Leisure cycling - 8 mph" and a trail distance of 17.5 miles.

Walking

After walking 17.5 miles you will have burnt 1428 calories. Assuming a constant pace and no breaks it will take you 5 hours 50 minutes to cover the distance and you will have taken roughly 40250 steps.

More calories per mile are burnt at very low speeds as you do not have momentum to carry you between strides. Walking at high speeds will burn more calories too as arm swinging and the longer stride use more muscle groups. Those extra muscles burn up extra calories with each step. Carrying a rucksack and walking uphill will also increase your calorie burn.

Rewards

    13.5 Tunnock's Teacakes or

    16.8 Jammie Dodgers or

    5.7 jam donuts or

    11.8 packets of Pork Scratchings (20g) or

    7.8 pints of ale or

    16 glasses of wine (120ml)

without feeling any guilt whatsoever.

Cycling

After 17.5 miles of cycling you will have burnt 728 calories. The trip will take 2 hours 11 minutes to complete assuming no breaks are taken.
