How it is computed
kcal = MET × 3.5 × weight (kg) ÷ 200 × minutes. METs come from the 2011 Compendium of Physical Activities: 8.3 at 5 mph, 9.8 at 6 mph, 11.0 at 7 mph, 11.8 at 8 mph, 12.8 at 9 mph and 14.5 at 10 mph. Paces are 60 ÷ speed.
FAQ
Does running faster burn more per kilometre?+
Only slightly. Running costs roughly 1 kcal per kg per km at any pace; going faster mainly burns the same calories in less time.
Is running better than walking for calories?+
Per minute, yes, about twice as much. Per kilometre, running burns somewhat more than walking, but the gap is much smaller.
