So, I realized that there's no possible way that I burned anywhere near 700 calories from walking with short spurts of running. It probably was close to the formulas that Blackie linked to and what Nike+ said, so I tossed my budget HR monitor to the side and just spent the money to get the "best in breed" and bought a Garmin Forerunner 305. And guess what.....yeah, no more 700 calorie days. Here's the stats from my run this morning (official day 1 of week 1 of C25K - 5 minute warm up walk, run 60 seconds, walk 90 for 20 minutes, 5 minute cool down walk).
HR Monitor: Time: 30:19 (min:sec). 1.95 miles, HR Ave: 151, Calories: 300
Nike+: Time: 30:20, 1.91 miles, Calories: 271
(Total: 3 Runs, 5.57 miles, 1:30:32, Calories: 783)
