Domande frequenti
Does running pace affect calorie burn?
Pace has a smaller effect than weight and distance. A faster pace may burn 5–10% more calories, but distance is the dominant factor.
What about hills and terrain?
Hills, trails, and soft surfaces increase burn by 10–30% due to increased muscular effort and reduced efficiency.
Do heavier people burn more calories?
Yes. A 200 lb runner burns about 25% more calories per mile than a 160 lb runner covering the same distance.
