Example Data Table
| Scenario | Run Distance | Walk Distance | Run Time | Walk Time | Weight | Terrain | Total Distance | Blended Pace |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morning Mixed Session | 5 km | 3 km | 30 min | 36 min | 70 kg | 1.00 | 8 km | 8:15 min/km |
| Light Recovery Day | 2 km | 4 km | 14 min | 50 min | 68 kg | 0.95 | 6 km | 10:40 min/km |
| Long Endurance Block | 8 km | 5 km | 50 min | 60 min | 75 kg | 1.10 | 13 km | 8:28 min/km |
Formula Used
Total Distance = Running Distance + Walking Distance
Active Time = Running Time + Walking Time
Elapsed Time = Active Time + Break Time
Speed = Distance ÷ Time in Hours
Blended Pace = Active Time ÷ Total Distance
Calories = MET × Weight × Hours × Terrain Factor
The calculator uses running and walking speeds to assign practical MET values. This gives a clearer energy estimate for mixed sessions.

FAQs
1) What does this calculator measure?
It combines running and walking into one session summary. You get total distance, active time, elapsed time, blended pace, speeds, calorie estimate, and goal tracking.
2) Can I use miles instead of kilometers?
Yes. Choose miles from the unit selector. The calculator adjusts pace labels, speed labels, and internal conversions automatically.
3) Why are running and walking shown separately?
Separate values help you compare effort and efficiency. Mixed sessions often hide where time and energy were actually spent.
4) How is blended pace calculated?
Blended pace divides total active minutes by total distance. Break time is excluded from pace, but still included in elapsed session time.
5) Are calories exact?
No. Calories are estimates based on MET values, weight, speed, and terrain factor. They are useful for planning, not medical precision.
6) What does terrain factor do?
Terrain factor scales calorie burn. Flat routes can stay near 1.00. Hills, trails, or harder surfaces can justify a higher value.
7) Should I include stops and breaks?
Yes, when you want full session duration. Breaks affect elapsed time and goal comparisons, but they do not change the active pace calculation.
8) When is this calculator most useful?
It helps with recovery plans, walk-run training, beginner programs, endurance tracking, weight management, and daily session comparisons.
