Yes and no. When you run you burn more calories faster and your heart rate is in prime fat burning zone. Therefore, you cannot get the same results as running, but you can still burn the same amount by walking. It will take a long, long time though. Running for thirty minutes burns around three hundred calories, but walking for that same distance only burns around one hundred. So you have to walk three times as much to burn that same amount of calories.
Hope I helped and good luck!
