I figure 353, if I ran on vegetable oil.

Mine was 36.

Not at it at all.

I scored a 36 but I'm not sure if I buy it. Seems like I could walk more than 36 miles if I had plenty to drink.

yeah? the quiz is wrong. Your body doesn't run on water. It runs on calories. Vegetable oil has about 30,700 kcal/gallon. The base assumption is wrong. Liquid food mixed with water? What the heck is that? That's why I said 353. I say that because for a couple years I ran a lot, and tracked what I ate, and how far I ran, and what I weighed, and I came up with about 87kcal/mile. I don't see how the quiz has any meaning.

Lighten up, Frances. It's just a harmless little distraction. I doubt that anyone is taking it seriously and adjusting their training to optimize their mpg based on an internet quiz.

And who am I anyway?
Just another fat jogger, evidently.

I took the result as more of a formula taking into account overall fitness, weight, and other health issues to come up with the mileage estimate. I'm certain my # would be higher sans 15 extra #s and asthma. It's still just a fun little toy, more than anything.

Your body gets around 37 miles per gallon! This is the equivalent of a hybrid car

"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."
