huh? keeping a steay pace helps allow you to go for a long time. also, an elliptical is not going to get you burning 1100 calories an hour. not even close. running burns approx. 100 calories/mile, so an elite athlete may be able to do taht, but the elliptical will burn fewer than running.

100 calories per mile? wtf? Where do you come up with a number like that? The amount of calories per mile you burn depends on A) speed, B) your weight/physical fitness and C) whether you're running flat, decline, incline, whatever. I burn ~150 calories per mile, but I only weigh 150 pounds. Someone who weigh's 300 pounds can easily push 300 calories per mile. As well, elliptical thingys tend to burn more calories per minute then running does...running is probably better overall, however.
