MET 10.7 at this pace. Faster running raises MET; time and distance set how long you hold it. kcal = MET × body weight (kg) × hours. Gross estimate, including resting metabolism during the run — not a lab measurement, not medical advice.

Formulas

Estimate, not physiology-as-prescription and not medical advice. Level-grade running MET comes from the ACSM running VO2 equation. Calories use the Compendium definition of 1 MET ≈ 1 kcal per kg per hour. Some ACSM worksheets multiply by 1.05 (5 kcal per liter of oxygen); this page uses MET × kg × hours as the primary number. Individual burn varies with grade, wind, economy, and fitness. Pace comes from time ÷ distance — same mile as the running pace calculator.

  • VO2 (mL/kg/min) = 0.2 × speed (m/min) + 3.5
  • MET = VO2 / 3.5
  • kcal = MET × weight (kg) × hours
  • 1 mile = 1.609344 km · 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg

FAQ

How many calories do you burn running 5 miles?

A 155 lb runner covering 5.00 miles in 47:15 (9:27 per mile) is about 594 kcal on this page. That is MET × kg × hours, with MET from the ACSM running equation. It is an estimate, not medical advice.

How does a running calorie calculator work?

Pace from time and distance sets running speed. ACSM converts that speed to VO2, then MET = VO2 / 3.5. Calories = MET × body weight in kilograms × hours. Faster pace raises MET; more time or more mass raises the total.

How many calories burned per mile of running?

At the default 9:27/mi, 155 lb is about 119 kcal per mile. Per-mile calories change with pace and body weight. Toggle US/Metric to read kcal/mi or kcal/km.

Is this the same as a treadmill or watch calorie number?

No. This is a level-grade MET estimate. Watches may use heart rate; treadmills may add incline. Grade-adjusted pace is not on this page. Treat all three as estimates.

Does this tell me how to lose weight?

No. It does not give a diet, a training plan, or medical advice. It only estimates energy for the run you typed.
