According to pacer I ran 1.4 miles and burned 88 cals but MapMyRun said I did 2.4 km and burned 123 cals however I did do my short run without too much pain in my ankle.

I struggle with that too.

My Fitbit and RunKeeper often give me very different mileage and pace stats.

They both use the GPS on my phone so I just dont understand why they would be different.

Hey ho. RunKeeper usually gives me the slower stats, so I go with that so I'm not cheating myself

1.4 miles is 2.25km, so not a vast error.

The accuracy of any tracking is down to the quality of the device.......what is pacer?

The calorie bit is wild guesswork unless fully calibrated with all your up to date stats, then it is just guesswork.
