About the Calculation
Uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula: Calories = MET × weight(kg) × time(hr). MET is estimated from your running pace — faster pace = higher MET value.If no pace is entered, a default MET of 8.0 is used (≈ 9:35/km or 15:25/mi). For best accuracy, enter your actual pace. Results are estimates and vary with terrain, fitness level, and conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
This estimation provides a reasonable approximation based on your run details, but it is not as accurate as direct measurement methods. It can be useful for tracking trends in energy expenditure over time.
Yes, providing more accurate inputs such as your actual pace and duration will improve the accuracy of the calorie estimate. The calculator uses MET values that are closely tied to running intensity, so accurate pace information is key.
No, this calculator does not account for factors such as terrain, fitness level, or weather conditions, which can all affect energy expenditure. The results are estimates based on standard MET values for running at different paces.
