👟 Running Calorie Calculator

Calculate calories burned running based on weight, distance, pace, and terrain.

👟 Formula

MET method

MET × weight(kg) × hours

MET varies by speed

Rule of thumb

~1 kcal/kg/km

Quick estimate

Running calorie burn depends mostly on body weight and distance. Pace matters, but often less than people assume over the same total distance.

🔥 Calories/km by Weight

60 kg~60 kcal/km
70 kg~70 kcal/km
80 kg~80 kcal/km
90 kg~90 kcal/km

💡 Efficiency

  • Distance > speed for calories
  • Hills can add a meaningful calorie cost
  • Treadmill and outdoor running can differ
  • EPOC may add some post-exercise burn
  • Fuel longer runs appropriately

Running vs Walking

Running generally burns more calories per minute, while total calorie burn over distance is often closer than many people expect. For weight loss, consistency and total weekly volume matter a lot.
