Calories burned running and walking

The number of calories burned while running and walking depends primarily on your weight and the slope of the surface you're traveling on. Going uphill obviously uses more calories than the flat, and going downhill uses less calories for moderate slopes but as the slope gets stepper, the calories start to increase again. Your efficiency also has an impact on the calorie cost; for instance Paula Radcliffe improved her Running Economy by nearly 20% over 10 years. Running on the flat uses about 0.63 Calories per pound per mile, or in metric, 0.86 Calories per Kg per Km. Walking uses fewer Calories than running at 0.4 Calories per pound per mile, or in metric, 0.6 Calories per Kg per Km.Below are tables for sample weights to save you the math. The calculations for slopes are a bit more complex and are shown with the tables further down this page.

1 Calories burned on the flat (Pounds & Miles)

This table shows the number of calories burned while running or walking on the flat. Simply look up your weight in the first column, and read the number of calories burned for running or walking in the next two columns. This table shows weight in pounds and distance in miles; the next table is a metric equivalent.

2 Calories burned on the flat (Kg & Km)

This table shows the number of calories burned while running or walking on the flat. Simply look up your weight in the first column, and read the number of calories burned for running or walking in the next two columns. This table shows weight in Kg and distance in Km; the table above is an imperial equivalent.

3 The effect of slope

The cost of running on a slope is given by this equation

Cri = 155.4i5 - 30.4i4 - 43.3i3 + 46.3i2 + 19.5i + 3.6

Where i is the slope and the result I in Jules per Kg per Meter. The equation for walking is similar:

Cwi = 280.5i5 - 58.7i4- 76.8i3+ 51.9i22+ 19.6i + 2.5

To make life easier, I've generated some tables to show the Calorie burn for different weights and different slopes.

4 Calories burned running on slopes (Pounds & Miles)

This table shows the calories burned while running on different slopes. To use, look up your weight in the first column, then read across for the number of calories burned on different slopes.
