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.
Race walking 8 mph can burn more than 1,000 calories per hour in 150-pound people. The same people burn about 800 calories per hour race walking 6 mph, about 600 calories per hour power walking 5 mph, and about 400 calories per hour walking 4 mph, wrote Fenton. You lose 1 pound when you burn 3,500 calories.
