Running Calorie Calculator
Estimate calories burned while running by weight, pace, distance, and duration.
Running Calorie Calculator
This Running Calorie Calculator estimates calories burned during a run using pace-based MET values from the ACSM running equation. Enter your body weight, running distance, and pace to see total energy expenditure and calories per kilometer or mile.
Pace-Based MET Formula
Running speed is derived from your pace, then converted to MET using VO₂ = 3.5 + 0.2 × velocity (m/min) and MET = VO₂ / 3.5. Calories follow the standard Calories = MET × weight (kg) × duration (hours) formula.
Running for Weight Loss
Calorie burn depends on body weight and pace, not just distance. A heavier runner or a faster pace burns more energy per kilometer. Combine running with a sensible calorie deficit for sustainable weight loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does running burn per mile?
A 70 kg runner at a 10-minute-mile pace burns roughly 110–120 kcal per mile. Heavier runners and faster paces burn more.
Does running pace affect calories burned?
Yes. Faster paces have higher MET values and burn more calories per minute. However, slower runs cover less distance in the same time, so total burn depends on both pace and duration.
Is this calculator accurate for treadmill running?
Treadmill running burns slightly fewer calories because there is no air resistance. This calculator assumes outdoor flat running; treadmill values may be 1–2% lower.
How does body weight affect running calorie burn?
The MET formula multiplies by body weight in kilograms, so heavier individuals expend more energy for the same distance and pace.
