Running Calories Burned Calculator

This calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula to estimate calories burned during exercise. It's a scientifically validated method for calculating energy expenditure.

The Formula:

Total Calories Burned = Duration (in minutes) * (MET * 3.5 * Body Weight in kg) / 200

What is a MET?

A MET value represents the energy cost of an activity. A MET of 1 is equivalent to the energy you burn at rest. Running has different MET values depending on the speed:

• Slow Jog (~8 km/h | 5 mph): 8.0 METs
• Moderate Pace (~10 km/h | 6 mph): 10.0 METs
• Fast Pace (~12 km/h | 7.5 mph): 12.5 METs

By providing your weight, duration, and running speed, the calculator can give you a reliable estimate of the calories you've burned.
