About the Running Calories Calculator
Running burns roughly 1 kcal per kg of body weight per kilometre, almost whatever your speed — faster running burns more per minute but you cover the distance sooner. A 70 kg runner burns about 350 kcal over 5 km.
Enter your distance and time; the calculator works out your pace, picks the MET value for that speed from the Compendium of Physical Activities and calculates calories.
