    0.79 Watts

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2 hours is 2 * 60 = 120 minutes

    If you take 8 minutes per mile, you can run:

    120/8 = 15 miles in 2 hours

    Per mile calories consumption is 91, so in 15 miles:

    91 * 15 = 1365

    Average Power Output is Energy by Time

    Also, calories to joules is:

    1 Calorie = 4.184 Joules

    So 1365 calorie is:

    1365 * 4.184 = 5711.16 Joules

    and 2 hours in seconds is 2 * 60 * 60 = 7200 seconds

    Now

    Average Power Output = 5711.16/7200 = 0.79 Watts
