about 150-ish per mile. but running will raise your heart rate and metabolism for several hours after you work out, so even if you’re just sitting at a desk, you’ll be burning more calories than normal.

Why does running faster burn fewer calories?

Q: Using several Calorie calculators online, I have noticed that above speeds of 5.5mph, Calories burned per mile actually decreases.Here’s a chart:3.0 mph = 82 Cal/mi4.0 mph = 96 Cal/mi4.5 mph = 108 Cal/mi5.0 mph = 123 Cal/mi 5.5 mph = 132 Cal/mi 6.0 mph = 129 Cal/mi 7.0 mph = 127 Cal/mi8.0 mph = 126 Cal/mi9.0 mph = 125 Cal/mi10.0 mph = 124 Cal/mi Now from personal experience, it’s significantly harder to run a 8 minute mile than a 11 minute mile. So why does the 11 minute mile burn more Calories? Thanks in advance.Here are the reference sites I used. I should have specified that the weight I used for the calculations is 170lbs. The sites give you calories for a certain time at a specific speed. I then did the math to convert Calories/hr to Calories/mi at each speed. The results were pretty consistant within +/- 1 Cal/mi.http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/jumpsite/calculat.htmhttp://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.phphttp://www.mapmyrun.com/calculate_calories

A: First, I’m not buying the 82-132 total range. I’d love to see those sites and where they got their numbers. I can show you charts that show it’s essentially constant, varying only with body weight – but yes, very slightly less as you hit the high end of the speed spectrum.The reason for that small drop is that your body naturally transitions into more of a sprinting motion the faster you run. The sprinting motion is more energy efficient than a jogging motion; you spend a greater fraction of your calories going forward as opposed to up and down. Try this: many health clubs have treadmills in front of mirrors. Watch yourself, paying particular attention to the motion of your head. Actually, your whole body does, it’s just easier to see it by watching your head. As you jog slowly, your head naturally rises and falls with each stride. Now crank up the treadmill so you almost have to sprint. The head motion will practically disappear. There went the extra couple calories.That’s also a good way to spot a skilled runner: their head motion will be less, even at lower speeds, than that of an unskilled runner.
