Running is not like that.
The physics here offers no insight into training or physiology.

You also made a non-sensical argument about heat production. Let me phrase it for you so that you can clarify for all of us: "You burn more calories running faster because of heat production." Please explain yourself.
You can try to confuse the issue with as many physiological ineffeciencies that you want, but you are not addressing the issue, and your inefficiencies are negligible in a practical sense.
The issue is that it is a common misconception that feeling like you are working harder means that you have done more work. If someone lifts 100 lbs from the floor onto a table, they feel like they have done more work than if they use a pulley to accomplish the same task. The pulley makes it easier, but the work done is the same.
It is the same issue here. People feel like they are burning more calories by running faster, but in reality the caloric requirements to move from point A to B are, practically speaking, the same whether you run easy pace or fast pace. That is the point. You are trying to confuse a very simple principle with negligible real world inefficiencies.
If you feel the inefficiencies are not negligible, then it is now up to you to show it. Please present the final answer in as a % change from ideal.
Ok. Change the calculation to comparing a runner doing 4 minute mile to him doing an 8 minute mile? Do you still think the calories burned are:
1, the same?
2, slightly more calories for a 4 minute mile vs an 8 minute mile?
3, a lot more calories?
After a 4 minute mile the body will continue to burn calories for the next 24 hours.
