The number of calories you lose during a running session depends on your weight and your running speed.
12-Minute Mile
It takes about 14 minutes to walk a mile. For a beginning runner, a 12-minute mile is a typical pace. Running a 12-minute mile requires a steady speed of 5 mph. If you weigh 185 pounds, you will burn 355 calories every 30 minutes.
10-Minute Mile
If you run at 6 mph for 30 minutes, you will complete 3 miles -- a 10-minute-per-mile pace. If you weigh 185 pounds, you will burn 444 calories.
6-Minute Mile
To run at a 6-minute-per-mile pace requires much practice, discipline and dedication. If you weigh 155 pounds and complete a 30-minute session at this pace, you will burn 614 calories.
Considerations
Consult your physician before significantly increasing your level of physical activity.
