Will an athlete who runs for an hour at moderate pace and is not tired at the end burn more calories than an out of shape person who runs for an hour a way shorter distance but is exhausted at the end?
Assuming both have the same weight and such
What I want to know basically is if your body gets stronger will it need less energy to perform the same amount of work?

I’ve wondered this about running vs. walking. If I walk a mile, I feel nothing. No effort. Doesn’t feel like exercise at all. If I run that same mile at a 12min/mile pace because I’m slow and out of shape, I feel like I’m dying. Drenched in sweat. Face bright red. Need to lay on the floor for 20 minutes recovering. Surely I burn more calories running the same distance than walking?
