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.
Walking Calorie Burn Rates. How many calories you burn when walking will depend on your speed, the terrain and your size. A slow, 2-mph pace burns 204 calories per hour for a 180-pound person. But, if that person doubles the speed to cover four miles in an hour, she can burn 409 calories. Take the walk uphill for the entire hour, and burn 490 calories. Smaller people burn fewer calories -- a 125-pound person uses 270 calories in an hour long, 4 mph walk. Larger people burn more -- a 185-pound person burns 400 calories walking for an hour at 4 mph.
