How Running Calorie Burn Is Estimated

Calories burned depend on your weight, speed, and duration.

Formula

Calories = MET x Weight (kg) x Duration (hours)

The MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) for running varies with pace. A rough linear model:

MET = 15.5 - 0.65 x Pace (min/mile)

Faster paces have higher MET values, meaning more calories per minute. However, slower runners burn more total calories per mile because they are moving for longer.

Note

This is an estimate. Actual calorie burn varies with fitness level, terrain, temperature, and running efficiency.

Exemple Résolu

A 160 lb runner covers 3 miles at a 9:00/mile pace.

  1. Weight in kg = 160 * 0.4536 = 72.57 kg
  2. Duration = 3 * 9 / 60 = 0.45 hours
  3. MET = 15.5 - 0.65 * 9 = 9.65
  4. Calories = 9.65 * 72.57 * 0.45 = 315 kcal
  5. Calories per mile = 315 / 3 = 105 kcal/mile
