Exercise: You will burn more calories running, running you are landing on six times your weight, walking you are landing on three times your weight. Best.

Can cycling and running burn the same calories?

Depends: Exercise of any type can burn calories and they are the same calories
people burn more calories when they exercise more vigorously
depending on how vigorously you exercise, you can burn the same number of calories running or cycling
a good exercise program mixes up the types of exercise you do, and varying between cycling and running offers a variety of health benefits.
Way to go! have fun.
