AboutRick Karboviak, CSCS Expertise First things first: I WILL NOT ASK QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO AN INJURY OR SORE AREA ON YOUR BODY, please seek medical advice from a doctor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or chiropractor.
I can answer questions specifically for mile to 5K distances, preferably in regards to HS and recreational runners, since I coach JH/HS age athletes, and train recreationally-based runners (those who simply run for the enjoyment of it, not super-competitive).
I am also an expert in doing training with the assistance of a GPS speed & distance monitor, in tracking speeds, paces, and distances for measurements in intensity & volume of your workouts precisely.
My main running site is http://endure.speeddialcoach.com
Question I weigh 185 pounds. How many calories will I lose if I run a 6 minute mile?
Answer Well, it will take approximately 140 calories of energy to complete that mile, as an estimate. I know for myself at a weight of 180, I will burn about 140 calories/mile for my personal runs. You may try the site exrx.net to discover some fitness calculators, or go to Runner's World's site, runnersworld.com, and use some fitness calculators there to see some estimates. I believe the faster you run a set mile, the more calories you are going to burn not only during, but after as well, due to the stress/recovery you need from such a hard, high intensity run, versus a medium/slower pace run to cover the same distance.
