Running Calorie
Running Calories Burned Calculator is a tool that allows you to easily calculate the number of calories burned while running by simply entering your running speed, running time, and weight. If you know your running speed, you can calculate ``calories burned'', ``amount of fat burned'', and ``distance run'' depending on the running time, such as 30 minutes or 1 hour.
How to Use
- Enter "Running Speed", "Running Time", and "Weight".
- "Calories Burned", "Fat Burned", and "Distance Run" will be displayed.
What is Running Calories?
Running burns energy, resulting in calorie consumption. It is one of the aerobic exercises that many people incorporate into their routines for health maintenance, weight loss, and fat burning. The amount of calories burned depends on the running speed, weight, and exercise duration.
Factors Affecting Calorie Consumption
Running Speed (METs)
METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) represents the intensity of activity.
- The slower you run, the lower the calorie consumption but the higher the fat-burning ratio.
- The faster the speed, the higher the calorie consumption but the lower the fat-burning ratio.
Weight
- The heavier you are, the more calories you burn for the same exercise.
Running Time
- The longer you run, the more calories you consume.
What is METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task)?
METs is an indicator of activity intensity, based on the energy consumption at rest. 1 MET corresponds to the amount of oxygen and calorie consumption at rest (e.g., sitting).
The higher the intensity of the exercise, the higher the METs value, leading to increased calorie consumption.
Activity | METs Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Resting (sitting) | 1.0 | Baseline for rest |
Very slow running (6.4 km/h) | 7.0 | A very slow pace in running |
Slow running (8.0 km/h) | 8.3 | Light jogging; conversational pace |
Moderate speed (9.7 km/h) | 9.8 | Comfortable running pace |
Slightly fast (11.3 km/h) | 11.0 | Endurance run training pace |
Fast pace (12.9 km/h) | 11.5 | A pace where you start sweating a lot |
Very fast running (14.5 km/h) | 12.8 | High-intensity training or competitive running (e.g., 5 km race pace) |
Sprint (16 km/h) | 18.0 | Sprint or interval training, very high load |
Running Calorie Calculation Method
Formula for Calories Burned from Running
Calories Burned (kcal) = METs × Weight (kg) × Time (h)
- METs: A unit representing the intensity of activity.
- Weight: The body weight.
- Time: The exercise time in hours.
Formula for Fat Burned from Running
Fat Burned (g) = Calories Burned × Fat Burning Ratio / 100
Guide for METs, Running Speed, and Fat Burning Ratio
METs | Example Running Speed | Fat Burning Ratio (%) |
---|---|---|
7 | Very slow running (6.4 km/h) | 30% |
8.3 | Slow running (8.0 km/h) | 25% |
9.8 | Moderate speed (9.7 km/h) | 20% |
11 | Slightly fast (11.3 km/h) | 15% |
11.5 | Fast pace (12.9 km/h) | 12% |
12.8 | Very fast running (14.5 km/h) | 10% |
18 | Sprint (16 km/h) | 8% |
