>running a mile only burns 100 calories

100 Additional calories.

You also burned however many calories you would have during that same period of time if you had not been running.

And that is also dependent on your level of fitness. Someone who’s really out of shape is likely burning more calories during that run because it will take them longer.

Calories burned = effort over time. The longer time you’re putting in that effort, the more calories you will burn.
