Im an 18 year old woman and I'm 5'2 and 97 pounds how many calories would I burn if I ran/jogged for 30 minutes . I ordered the polar ft 4 it should be here in three days but in the mean time I'd like to know how many calories I'm burning or close to it .

    For net calories it's 2/3 x weight x miles. So you will burn about 65 cals per mile above and beyond your BMR.

    pretty close: some estimates have 0.62 * weight in lbs * miles run. 2/3 is 0.66 so only off by a few calories from this formula.

    All depends on how fast you run-- You are pretty small so if you eat a 300 calorie cookie you are running 5 miles or so.
