What does this tool do?
Running burns more energy per minute than walking because it demands more force and vertical movement. This calculator uses standard MET values for common paces and reports distance alongside estimated calories.
The Formula
Calories ≈ MET × 3.5 × Weight (kg) ÷ 200 × MinutesFrequently Asked Questions
Does running burn the same calories on a treadmill?
Treadmill running is close to outdoor running at the same pace, though outdoor wind and terrain can add effort. Holding the handrails reduces the work.
Why does pace matter so much?
Faster running has a higher MET value and covers more distance per minute, so calorie burn per minute rises sharply with pace.
