yes nunheadbelle a mile is a mile, but not in terms of a 'swimming mile' and a 'running mile'. A swum mile = the equvialnt of 5 miles run (thats just an example) That's what I want to know from someone who swims/runs regularly (a triathlete would be good! if there are any knocking about ED?)

Well, MW, you can work it out from the site that d_c posted.


Let's say you weigh 130 lbs:


Run for an hour at 6mph (fairly middling jogger pace), and according to these data tables you'd burn up 6 miles/590 calories. This works out at about 98 calories per mile.


Conversely a medium breast stroke is about 1 mph (top speed is around 4mph), and you'd burn up 1 mile & 590 calories in an hour. This is about 590 calories per mile.


Hence you'd need to do 590/98= 6 miles running for every one mile swimming breast stroke to burn up equivalent energy levels.


If we looked at front crawl we'd get a different answer. It's about 20% faster on average and easier on energy usage, so in an hour you'd burn up 1.2miles & 472 calories. This is 394 calories per mile.


Hence you'd need to do 394/98 = 4 miles running for every mile swimming a leisurely front crawl to burn up equivalent energy levels.


The ratios stay pretty much the same regardless of weight.

You can't work it out on time alone as it's all dependent upon exertion, surely... Most people won't swim a mile or swim for 30 mins at the same exertion level at which they would run a mile or run for 30 mins. If you have a heart rate monitor, run for half an hour at say 80% WHR and then do the same in the pool and see how far you get in both cases, and you should be able to work it out from there. I'm not sure there's a catch-all rule, and if there is I imagine it'd be VERY vague and unreliable...

All I know is that I ran 9 miles yesterday and it took 1 hour and 15 minutes. I was tired but not falling over tired. I swam for 1 mile in the pool the weekend before and DID nearly fall over afterwards.

Yes! Back to the pool. And the water is very cold in the pool I go to so that should burn off a few more vino calories....(she sighs)

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
