1000 - 2000 calorie burn

Today I ran for 130 mins at 8 min mile pace and burnt 1450 cals. I'm 5'5" tall and about 116 - 118 pounds. According to broscience this isn't possible so I guess I'm a cyborg from a parrellel universe. I'm possible gonna eat approximately 2800 cals today without putting on weight. Oh yeah, broscience probably chalk up my low weight and high calorie intake to a high metabolic rate?? Oh well, regardless, I do look forward to eating and not gaining ;-)

    Yesterday morning my garmin 310xt says i burned 1432 during my 10.5 mile run. When i log my exercise i under cut it by about 125 cals. At the end of the day i was still 20 cals under. Is this helping.....hmmmm not sure. But my body fat has fell over the past 5 weeks and i am losing an average of 1.3 lbs a week.

    According to my Garmin 610 I burned 1,728 at my triathlon yesterday (4km kayak, 20km bike & 5 km run) and 2,183 at a half marathon last May........

    What's broscience? I've seen plenty of junk science, pseudoscience and nonscience...! :laugh:
    I also burn 1300-1400 calories on a 10 mile run..currently working on NOT eating back every last calorie!

    Endomondo gives me credit for over 1k calories at around 6 miles. I think it overestimates it. Come to think of it, partly my fault; I haven't changed the weight in a little while and I think it is set 7 pounds or so high. Last night it gave me 1736 for a 11.29 mile run. I weigh 170. I think those numbers are high, but I am pretty sure that 8 mile runs go over a grand for me.

    I think it's important to remember that ANY calorie burn, whether from a machine, a HRM or any other source is ONLY a calculation based on previous experiments. There is not way to know for absolute certain what you calorie burn is. It depends on your weight, level of exertion and many other factors. Even a HRM may be off by 20% or more.

    I believe that if we consistently use the same calculations and then see how our body reacts to the amount of calories we consume, it gives us the opportunity to be successful. If we keep jumping around, using different resources for our calorie burn calculations, it's near impossible to get a handle on what works and what doesn't.

    Additionally, our bodies don't operate on the concept of a "day". So, the deficit or surplus that we create today, can easily be reversed the next day or two, etc.

    Exactly! And if you see that you are putting on weight over a period of entering 1000 calorie burns then something is off. Simple! However, I was making fun at the thread '800 - 1000 calorie burn' being impossible for a human being. And obviously there is something wrong with statements like that. It just takes duration and intensity to reach that calorie burn which varies from person to person.

    I have a PhD in Broscience

    You only burned 289 calories on that run!

    Someone with a PhD, I guess I can't argue with that... Going back to the drawing board then :-(

    I have made the statement that very few people ever burn 1000 calories in an hour and I still stand by that. It is doable, but it is claimed and logged a lot more often than it is actually done. Then people add those calories back in and complain about their plateau.

    I hit a 2335 calorie burn yesterday in just over 2 hours. I ate it all back and was down nearly half a pound this morning. Plateau!

    As previously stated, you just need the proper mix of fairly heavy and kind of fast. The follow 1 hour runs should result in 1,000+

    210 lbs @ ~9:00 pace should get you over 1,000

    200 lbs @ ~8:30 pace

    190 lbs @ ~8:00 pace

    180 lbs @ ~7:30 pace (this is my long tempo run)

    170 @ ~7:00 pace

    150 @ ~ 6:40 pace

    Where's the damn like button when I need it. I'm in this boat as well...............cept, I sure as hell am not up to running 10.5 miles yet. Working on it though.

    I think that is further evidence that very few people do it. As I said, it is doable, but I think only a small % of the MFP population can sustain the effort of going an hour at the listed paces.

    I'd have to run a 5:20 min/mile pace to hit ~1000 calories in an hour. Not gonna happen. On the other hand, I strapped my GPS watch to a chair and it did about a quarter of a mile in an hour. Can I count that in my calorie burn since I was sitting in the chair? ;)

    Yeah, quoting myself as it is too late to ETA. Anyway, I should have mentioned that my PB for 10k is barely under an hour and when I am out running long distances for over an hour my pace is generally in the 10:15 range and I am 170. In this particular discussion forum, that is nothing to brag about; it's pretty slow. On the busier trails, I get passed by a few people my size or smaller but rarely get passed by anyone bigger. And I am pretty sure most of the people passing me are not running a 7:00 pace or won't be running an hour or more. Most runners are just out there for under 5 miles. I was talking to a neighbor that runs the other day about the nice trail system in a neighborhood 2 miles from ours. He was interested in trying them and asked me where I parked. Uhm... in my driveway. :bigsmile:

    I'm big (6'1" 211.8 lbs as of this morning) and relatively fast (Easy runs are 7'45" - 8'15"/mi, Slow for me is ~8'30' on my long training runs/recovery runs) and the way I have to work hard to eat enough calories to meet my goal most days. I'm not losing weight as fast as I'd expect, but I'm also not concerned because I'm seeing the effect in my body.

    Extrapolating down to my current weight, I know that 100 calories in an hour is not going to happen for me unless I gain an obscene amount.

    I have to disagree with your opinion that there are not many people on MFP capable of burning 1000 calories in a run. There are several just in this group who do that a couple of times a week.

    It's all relative, the number 1,000 is meaningless. Running for an hour at a moderate intensity will add around 25-30% to anyone's TDEE for that day, regardless of weight, age, or speed. That being said, if you're overweight and/or untrained it is not a good idea to dive into that much running or other intense endurance sport, one should build up to it gradually and keep it to 3 runs a week.

    I'd say this group is unique on MFP though, it's filled with people who are distance runners. By our nature we're going to be going out for longer runs, and because we run more than the majority of people, we're going to usually be faster. This group is far more likely to pull off the 1000 calories in an hour of running than your average MFP-er.

    Yep. Also, the person who disagreed changed what I said to "1000 calories in a run" when I said "1000 calories in an hour". Last night I burned over 1000 in a run, but it took me 90 minutes and it was probably around the 70 minute mark where I crossed 1000. I don't think I have ever done 1000 in an hour. The poster also changed "small %" to "not many people". that is not valid; MFP is such a large community that a small % is a lot of people, many of whom can be found in this forum. Anyway, with my words twisted like that I also disagree, but I still stand by my statement in its original form:
    I think that is further evidence that very few people do it. As I said, it is doable, but I think only a small % of the MFP population can sustain the effort of going an hour at the listed paces.
