I have started to use Map my run as a tool to find new runs etc and I find it really helpfull. Did my long slow run of just under 8 miles today and it calculates that I burnt 1076 calories ? The run took 1 hr 20 and I am around 200 lbs is this any where near acurate as it seems a lot of calories to burn ?

Unless the route was very hilly, it does sound a lot for the distance.

When I'm road-running, a simple calculation (weight in stones x 10 x miles run) gives me almost exactly the same calorie burn as my HRM does. Out on the hills, it becomes a lot less accurate.
