How Many Calories do you burn??

I was just reading through the thread in the general forums about 1000+ calorie burns. I know I have to run very far to burn 1000 and bike even longer. So for the sake of comparison, and just for kicks, how far do you have to run to burn 1000 calories? What's your gender, age and weight? And can someone explain to me why a man who is the same weight as me burns more calories?
So I am female, 38, 140 lbs. I have to run 11.5 miles to burn 1000. Which at a 9mm takes about an hour and 43 minutes. Or I have to ride 40 miles at 20 mph (outdoors, it's even longer inside) on my bike to burn 1000., which takes 2 hours. How about you?

I am 32, 5'6" I weigh 119 and burn 1000 calories when I run for about 1 hour, 30-40 minutes at an 8 min mile pace....so like 12ish miles or so. But I continue to burn after, so I usually end up around 1100 or whatever by the time I am back at the front door.
Edited after checking my garmin connect. Looks like I hit 1000 a little closer to 1.5-1 hr 40 min range depending on the pace.0 -
Here is what it takes me to burn 1000 calories. These numbers have dropped significantly as I lost weight.
Just for reference, I am 6'2" and 200lbs (Male 39).
Running (Easy effort): 85-90 minutes.
Road Cycling (Moderate effort): 120+ minutes
MTB Geared (Moderate effort): 100-110 minutes
MTB SS (Moderate effort): 85-90 minutes
Back in my fat days I could get 1000 calories around 60-70 minutes running and cycling.0 -
I am 29, female, 127lbs and 5'-6". I have to run for around 10.5 miles to burn 1000 calories. Which takes me around 86 minutes at an easy pace (marathon pace).
I burned 2600 calories running a marathon. I see guys logging that kind of numbers for runs WAY shorter than 26.2 miles. I hate them! Haha

10 miles running usually will do the trick
doesn't matter the pace.
Jose- I think you meant 86 min 0 -
34, 155lbs
My usual 5 mile daily runs will burn about 575-625, or about 125cals/mi at a 9ish pace. So, about 8mi for 1,000 cals.
Or 2 laps around that one girl's magical unicorn track.0 -
So somebody who knows more about physiology explain this to me. If Josee, Victoria and I are all running 10 miles at an 8mm why do they burn more calories? Because they are younger? I would think I would have a higher burn because I am heavier. What am I missing here?130 5'8" 22 y/o

I think count the muscle mass. I'm jus' throwing it there or talking loud. I don't know.0 -
I usually burn about 70-75 cals/mile, so it would take me roughly a half marathon or so to burn 1000 cals. I'm female, 5'0" and weigh about 105 lbs. I usually run a pace somewhere between 9:15-10:15 min/mile.0

I'm wondering this, too. I thought my numbers were weird so I went and checked and my garmin has me hitting 1000 around 11,12,13 miles depending pace. I'm kinda wondering if my HRM is off...0 -
I think higher vO2 max = more calories burned ? I don't know. I'm using Garmin data so it's probably not that accurate. I know that I don't really burn more if I run faster (I just run for less time, so it comes down to the same cal/mile)0

I burn 800 calories running barely 6 miles if I'm running around neighborhood. I live in a very hilly terrain. That's why I looked up at my garmin to specify the run information of flat 10 miler I did.0 -

One is in Canada, the other is in Southern Canada, and you're running below sea level?0 -

I don't know much but here's some of my guesses lol
1- my heart rate is usually in the 150-160s even when running easy
2- height???? Body fat??
3- age??
Haha I really have no idea. I don't really even know how many call I burn in 10 miles.. I feel like it's probably more than 1000 lol I'm always hungry & I don't gain weight even when I eat wayyy over my calories. I don't understand it0 -

I am pretty sure that HR plays a part of this. I also think that even when wearing the HRM it is still an estimate.0 -
That explains it. :laugh:

My garmin says I burned almost 1000 at a track workout the other day that was only like 70 min long. I'm guessing that has to do with number of intervals run. I never even thought of the whole calories burnt thing until I joined MFP and read racing weight (part of the quick start is to have a slight calorie deficit). this is all new to me!0

Do you wear a HRM when running? My calories burned according to Garmin are always much less when wearing my HRM as opposed to what it says when I don't wear it.0 -

We probably needed to include what our method of determining the calorie burn was. I am sure that different HRMs give a different burn rate. I know the 910xt has a different calorie calculator than my previous 305 did.
Then you factor in HR, conditioning, weather, altitude, etc.0
