This tool calculates how many calories you burn while running based on the distance you cover in kilometers.
Running Calorie Calculator
This running calorie calculator helps you estimate the number of calories burned during a run. The calculation takes into account your weight, the distance you ran, your speed, age, and gender, delivering an accurate estimate of calories burned.
How to Use
- Enter your weight in kilograms.
- Enter the distance you ran in kilometers.
- Enter your speed in kilometers per hour.
- Enter your age.
- Select your gender.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated calories burned.
Calculation Method
The calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value to estimate calories burned. MET values vary based on the speed of running:
- For running speed >= 8 km/h, MET = 11.5
- For running speed < 8 km/h, MET = 7.0
Calories burned = (MET * 3.5 * weight in kg / 200) * distance in km
If the user is female, the result is adjusted by a factor of 0.85 to account for differences in metabolism.
Limitations
- This calculator provides an estimate and may not be 100% accurate for every individual.
- Factors such as fitness level, metabolism, and individual body composition can affect the actual number of calories burned.
- Always consult a healthcare provider for accurate health assessments.
