The distance is the same, but your burn more calories while running. Also does temperature affect the effectiveness of your workout? Does running a mile in 90 degree weather burn more calories than doing the same distance in 50 degrees?

I’ll take the temperature question – short answer: not really.
The biomachinery that burns calories during a run isn’t affected by the air temperature. However, *being cold* does affect your metabolism. Since burning calories produces heat, and your body wants to be warm, when you’re cold your body will burn extra calories to balance the heat loss.
