Okay my family just got a treadmill yesterday. I usually run outside for 45 minutes at a pace around 7 MPH with hills. However, I prefer to use the treadmill so I can watch the morning news at the same time. I hate just doing a straight run on the treadmill so I have this workout done at a 1% incline the entire time:

10 minutes at 5MPH
20 seconds at 7.5 MPH
1 minute at 5 MPH
20 seconds at 7.5 MPH
1 minute at 5MPH
20 seconds at 7.5 MPH
4 minutes at 5 MPH
10 minutes at 6.5 MPH

Then three times through:
4 minutes at 5 MPH
4 minutes at 6.5 MPH

The last thing is 5 minutes at 5 MPH and I increase the incline by .5% every 30 seconds.

Will that burn as many calories as my original run?

Also, the treadmill is set to calculate calories based on a 180 pound man. I am 110 pounds and I am a female. How can I convert these?
