Calories Burned
Running Calculator

A useful rule of thumb: you burn roughly 80–140 calories per mile depending on body weight. At 130 lbs: ~83 cal/mile. At 155 lbs: ~98 cal/mile. At 185 lbs: ~115 cal/mile. At 210 lbs: ~131 cal/mile.

Running 3 miles burns approximately 240–420 calories for most people. At 130 lbs: ~249 cal. At 155 lbs: ~294 cal. At 185 lbs: ~345 cal. At 210 lbs: ~393 cal.

3 miles at a 10 min/mile pace takes 30 minutes — a solid mid-week workout.

Five miles burns approximately 400–700 calories. At 155 lbs running a 9:30/mile pace, expect roughly 490 calories. At 185 lbs, that climbs to ~575 calories.

A 10K run (6.2 miles) burns roughly 500–870 calories. A 155-lb runner at 8 min/mile burns about 610 calories. At 185 lbs, roughly 730 calories.

A half marathon (13.1 miles) burns approximately 1,100–1,800 calories. At 155 lbs running a 9:30/mile pace, expect about 1,290 calories. At 185 lbs, around 1,540 calories.

A full marathon burns approximately 2,200–3,500+ calories. At 155 lbs, expect roughly 2,580 calories. At 185 lbs, around 3,080 calories. Fueling with gels during the race is essential.

Per minute, yes. But per mile the difference is smaller than most expect. The real benefit of speed is time efficiency, not total calorie burn.

Treadmill burns slightly fewer calories due to no wind resistance. Setting a 1% incline closely replicates outdoor calorie burn. Treadmill displays often overestimate by 10–20%.
