Calories Burned Walking 7 Miles

Estimates based on a moderate pace (3.0 mph) using the MET calorie method.

Walking burns roughly the same calories per mile as running — it just takes a little longer. That's the beauty of it.

What Walking 7 Miles Actually Feels Like

Seven miles starts to feel like an adventure. You're well over two hours at any comfortable pace, covering ground that puts real distance between you and your starting point. This is Saturday-morning territory: a walk you plan, not one you squeeze in.

At this distance, shoes matter. Walking 7 miles in flat casual shoes will leave your feet reminding you of that choice for a day or two. A proper pair of walking shoes with support pays dividends. Socks, too — lightweight moisture-wicking socks reduce friction on longer walks significantly.

Seven miles also starts approaching the territory where walkers completing charity events, hiking routes, and scenic trails operate. It's not extreme. It's something a moderately active person can build up to within a few weeks of consistent shorter walks.
