I use the nike+ app on my runs and it tells me I usually burn around 550 for my hour long runs (these can be anywhere from 7-8 miles) I am 4'9 and 97 lbs, could that be right? I thought so, but recently is read a few reviews claiming nike+ is inaccurate

    I'm a new runner 2 months). I've been using the 100 calories per 10 minutes theory. I just got a heart rate monitor and got to use it for the first time yesterday and it was spot on to that theory. I burned 398 calories in 39 minutes. But having said that, it depends on how hard you're pushing. Could be less, could be more.
