How it works

For a steady level run, the ACSM running equation estimates oxygen cost from pace. We convert that oxygen estimate into total and active calories. Example: a 70 kg runner covering 5 km in 30 minutes on level ground gets about 387 total kcal and 350 active kcal.

Running model applies above 5 mph. Hills, stops, and individual running economy can change actual energy use. For slower jogging, use the activity calculator.
