Signed in 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between the British Crown and Maori. Around this time, there were 125,000 Maori and about 2000 settlers in New Zealand. Sealers and whalers were the first Europeans settlers, followed by missionaries.
Their male subjects burned 105 calories running, 52 walking; the women, 91 and 43. That is, running burns twice as many net calories per mile as walking. And since you can run two miles in the time it takes to walk one mile, running burns four times as many net calories per hour as walking.
Unsurprisingly, people expend two-and-a-half times more energy running than walking, whether thatâs on the track or on the treadmill [6]. So for a 160-lb person, running burns about 800 calories an hour compared to about 300 calories walking.
