How many calories does running burn?

Running at moderate pace (6 mph) burns approximately 9.8 METs × body weight × time. A 70kg person running 30 minutes: 9.8 × 70 × 0.5 = 343 calories. Running faster or uphill increases METs. Walking (3.5 METs) burns ~122 calories. Cycling at moderate pace (7.5 METs): ~263 calories per 30 min at 70kg.

How accurate are calorie burn calculators?

MET-based calculations are estimates with ±15–20% variability. Actual burn depends on fitness level (efficient exercisers burn fewer calories), temperature, terrain, exact intensity, and individual metabolism. Heart rate monitors are more accurate. Fitness trackers underestimate by 10–40% vs. lab measurements.
