Estimate calories burned running from body weight, distance, and pace. Uses Compendium of Physical Activities MET values for running speed.
This running calorie calculator estimates energy burned from your weight, distance, and finish time or pace. Enter weight and any two of distance, time, or pace — for example, 70 kg running 10 km in 50 minutes — to see total calories and calories per kilometre.
The estimate uses MET values from the Compendium of Physical Activities, which assign higher energy costs to faster running speeds. A slower jog burns fewer calories per minute than a hard tempo at the same distance.
Calorie burn depends on body mass and effort level. Heavier runners burn more calories at the same pace, and faster paces increase the metabolic cost. Use these figures for rough planning — individual metabolism and running form create variation.
To work out pace or time first, use the pace calculator. For distance conversions between miles and kilometres, see the distance converter.
