Your Run Burned How Many Calories?

Wow, the difference between 4.0 and 5.0 is a lot. It's funny, b/c I find 4.0 harder than 5.0. 4.0 is a super fast walk. 5.0 is a slow jog for me. I try to stay around 6.5 if I'm just running. If I'm doing intervals I range from 5.5 (resting) to 9 (sprint). I tried having my sprint interval at 10 and gave myself some awful shin splints. Keeping it at 9.0 for now!

Alright, I'm just going to admit it, I usually add 5 lbs to my weight so that my calorie burn is higher! I like jogging at 6.0, it doesn't exhaust me and I can run a lot longer. I used to run at 7.5-8.0 because one of my friends I used to workout with ran at that speed but when she moved away I went back to 6.0 and now I'm much happier and I don't dread the treadmill as much!

I feel like incline is never addressed in the running articles, and it makes such a big difference. Do you know what this chart info would be at say 1,2,3 and 4 inclines? I never run flat because the calorie burn is too slow and it keeps you more prepared to run outdoors. (I always wonder outdoors if the downhill half of the run is super low calorie burning.)

yes I too would like to know about inclines and what intervals does to alter these #s

I usually do intervals between 3.5-8 and have the incline at 2. 10 mph scares me. I already trip over myself walking so I can only imagine myself face planting on the treadmill and then flying off it in the middle of the gym.

I have to say this chart doesn't take weight into account. I burn about 850 on my runs because I am 145.

Also, some treadmills really overestimate the calories burned.

Not enough!!

Fit, could you give us some modified info about the effect of incline on calorie burn? Or where we could find it for ourselves? I absolutely never run on a flat surface, so this is not too helpful...

I like the activity calculator on caloriesperhour.com for finding the number of calories burned at various speeds & inclines.

This chart is really helpful. I've always operated under the assumption that running at a 10 min/mi pace burns 100 calories per hour, so I'm glad to see I wasn't too far off. Even when I run faster, I still tell myself I'm burning 100 calories per mile because I figure it's better to underestimate than to overestimate.

insanitypepper there is no incline option on the running calculator on that site??

The incline options on Calories per Hour are listed in the Activity Calculator under Treadmill.

I just recently got back into running (although I was never a big runner to begin with) and jog around 4mph, sometimes a little faster, on a 2 incline. The difference between 4 and 5 really -is- substantial! I'm going to try to work up to 5. My endurance sucks; I -look- like I'm in pretty good shape, but I can only do a mile running and then I'm pretty much down to walking (although I can easily fast-walk 6 miles or more). Hopefully it'll improve with time and effort, right?

faux cat, it has taken me a while, but I am up to 5 mph when running a distance. I will do sprints at like 6 mph. I am not a runner, never have been, never will be, but it seems to really be helping with weight loss. I sort of feel that once I'm at about 5.5 mph I will start extending distance instead of speed.

I run after my elliptical workouts, as a supplement. I could do the elliptical for an hour, but running is TOTALLY different on your lungs!!! I used to get winded & have an extremely high heart rate in 3 minutes jogging at 3.5 miles an hour when I started. Now I run 15 at 5 mph and my heart rate is only about 165 (just over 80%) & I'm not super tired.

I have bad knees, so I don't plan on running as my main exercise, but it has really helped kick start my metobolism & has really helped my lung capacit!

I don't put too much stock into the calorie counts... I like to see high numbers, but I know my body pretty well and I know that I burn calories much slower than other people so the real count must be lower. Instead of counting calories eaten and burned, it's better to eat as though you're not doing any workout at all, and then to add something high in protein and low in fat if you do more than 5 miles to what you'd eat in the day anyway. If you're not Michael Phelps, you probably don't need to "eat-to-burn".

hi there
im new to running sugar, and also new to running...I am relatively fit and have been spinning alot im just hoping for some kind of starter plan so i can track my progress which is the only thing that will keep me interested if im aiming for certain goals - also looking for some good albums to put on the ipod....all help would be welcome!
thanks

This is really nice for estimating, but I'm a 130 pound woman and when I run with a hrm my actual calories burned values are a bit higher.

Very useful table. Just curiosity, what is the source of this table?

Dear Sir,
 My weight is 85 kgs,how to burn calories?

The number of calories you need each and every day are different from one individual to another and to be able to function these details you'll would like to know many different elements of details about all by yourself which will assist you in making your own formula. Down below in the the number of calories do I need to have a day shed extra pounds calculator area we will offer straightforward clarification as to the way to you could make your very own calculations to determine what number of calories you have to have a day.
