Subject: Exercise Calorie Output - HRM vs. Runkeeper vs. MyFitnessPal
For the curious, I've done a few recent training runs wearing my Heart Rate Monitor, and my phone logging Runkeeper, and posting to MyFitnessPal afterwards. The routes were different, but very similar (pancake flat). I'm a 6'0" male that currently weighs 195 pounds.

Here are the numbers for calories burned:

Run #1 - 5.11 mile run, 50:51 time (9:57 min/mile pace), avg. HR was 151 BPM.
HRM = 804 kcal
Runkeeper = 783 kcal
MyFitnessPal = 770

Very consistent numbers.

Run #2 - 5.04 mile run, 49:45 time (9:53 min/mile pace), avg. HR was 145 BPM.
HRM = 695
Runkeeper = 772
MyFitnessPal = 740

A little more variance, but still pretty close.

Just thought I would share for the inquisitive minds here on BT. :-)

The boat was being tossed around. Someone noted that there were whitecaps on the waves. Another guy said, “This is going to be challenging.” I began to wonder what he meant by 'challenging'.
