There's definitely a big overestimate with Strava running calculations for flat runs.
Glasgow to Edinburgh is virtually all flat, having only one 30m climb in the middle and Strava gives almost 100% extra calories.
Garmin 3679 calories
Strava (from garmin file) 7270 calories.
On very steep runs, theres only 10% difference.
Aonach Mor uphill race 3km 549m climbed.
Garmin 490cal
Strava 527cal
