Calories Burned Running a Distance

The Calories Burned Running a Distance calculator computes the calories burned running based on the distance run, weight of person and the duration of time to run the distance.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (D) Distance Run
• (W) Weight of Person
• (T) Time to Run Distance

Calories Burned Running a Distance (kCal): The calculator returns the approximate calories (kcal) burned during cycling a distance.  The calculator also returns the average speed run in miles per hour.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

According to a report from Valdosta University, the following calories per hour are associated with different speeds running per hour. These are approximate numbers based on the person's weight, and there are numerous other factors that can change the total calories burned. The calculator uses the distance run and the time to run the distance to compute the average speed. 

Calories Burned Calculators

• Calories Burned in Aerobics: Estimates the calories based on the type of aerobic exercise activity, weight of person and the duration of time in exercise.
• Calories Burned Canoeing: Estimates the calories burned paddling a canoe based on the effort level, weight of person and the duration of time paddling.
