Does anyone know a good way to found out how many calories you burn when you run? is there a website?

    I'm wondering the same thing. I'm just taking the distance I ran/walked and the time it took me and figuring out my average speed and logging it that way.

    I looked around for an answer yesterday and a LOT of people are asking this question... The answer is, it depends on what your average heart rate is.

    BUT I did find an interesting Excel spreadsheet someone made that will estimate calories burned by combining the distance you walked and ran. It does estimate a little low, but it's not bad. I put it up on my personal web server, so the URL is safe. Just plug in your own weight at the top left. There are other instructions at the bottom of the spreadsheet, but you can customize calories burned output by changing the fields for distance and time.
