Your countdown to burning calories by running starts with investing in a good pair of shoes that are designed for runners, recommends FitnessMagazine.com. Try running with a friend to stay motivated thus increase your calorie burn over time.

Factors

The calories you burn while running for 10 minutes will depend on how fast you go, or how far you go, and how much you weigh. The more you weigh and the faster you run, the more calories you will burn.

Time Frame

If a 150-lb. person runs 1 mile in 10 minutes, a 6 mph pace, he will burn 113 calories, according to CaloriesPerHour.com. If the same person runs 0.8 miles in 10 minutes, a 5 mph pace, he will burn 91 calories. If he runs 1.2 miles, a 7 mph pace, he will burn 130 calories.

Considerations

If a 100-lb. woman runs a mile in 10 minutes, she will burn 76 calories. If a 200-lb person runs the same distance in the same time, she will burn slightly more than twice as much, or 151 calories.
