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
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.0 -

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.0

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.0

There are several just in this group who do that a couple of times a week.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.0
