This tool helps you calculate the calories you’ll burn based on the elevation of your run.
Running Calorie Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the number of calories burned during a running session, taking into account your weight, the distance you ran, the elevation gain, and the time it took.
How to Use:
- Enter your weight in kilograms.
- Enter the distance you ran in kilometers.
- Enter the total elevation gain in meters.
- Enter the total time spent running in minutes.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the estimated calories burned.
How It Works:
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate calories burned:
Calories Burned = [(Weight in kg) * (Distance in km) * (0.75 + 0.035 * (Elevation Gain in meters / Distance in km) + 0.029 * (Average Speed in km/hr))]
Note: This is an approximation and individual results may vary. Factors such as individual metabolism, effort, and running efficiency are not considered in this formula.
Limitations:
- The calculator does not account for variations in individual metabolism.
- Calories burned can vary based on running efficiency and technique.
- The result is an estimate and should be used accordingly.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate Calorie Burn for Walking Uphill
Enter your weight, duration, and slope gradient to find out how many calories you burn while walking uphill. The calculator takes into account the elevation gain to provide you with an accurate estimate.
Determine Calorie Expenditure for Running on an Incline
Input your weight, distance, and elevation to calculate the calories burned while running uphill. The calculator considers the extra effort needed to run at an elevation to give you a precise result.
Estimate Caloric Loss for Biking Up a Hill
Specify your weight, biking time, and incline to get an estimate of the calories burned while cycling uphill. The calculator factors in the elevation gain to provide you with a tailored result.
Compute Calories Burned Climbing Stairs
Insert your weight, number of stairs climbed, and height gain to determine how many calories you burn during stair climbing. The calculator accounts for the vertical distance covered to calculate your caloric expenditure accurately.
Find Out Calorie Consumption for Hiking in Mountains
Enter your weight, hiking duration, and elevation change to see the calories burned while trekking in mountainous terrain. The calculator adjusts the calorie estimate based on the incline and duration of the hike.
Calculate Caloric Expenditure for Skiing Downhill
Input your weight, skiing time, and elevation descent to estimate the calories burned while skiing downhill. The calculator considers the downhill nature of the activity for an accurate calorie calculation.
Estimate Calories Burned Snowboarding on Slopes
Specify your weight, snowboarding duration, and slope gradient to calculate the calories burned while snowboarding. The calculator factors in the effort required to snowboard on varying inclines accurately.
Determine Caloric Loss for Rowing Upstream
Enter your weight, rowing time, and river incline to estimate the calories burned while rowing upstream. The calculator accounts for the difficulty of rowing against the current to provide you with an accurate result.
Compute Calorie Expenditure for Jogging Uphill
Insert your weight, jogging duration, and uphill degree to find out the calories burned while jogging uphill. The calculator factors in the increased effort needed to jog at an incline for a tailored calorie estimate.
Find Out Caloric Consumption for Cross-Country Skiing on Hills
Specify your weight, skiing duration, and hill gradient to determine the calories burned during cross-country skiing on hilly terrain. The calculator considers the uphill skiing component for an accurate calorie calculation.
