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 -
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.
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 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.As previously stated, you just need the proper mix of fairly heavy and kind of fast.

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'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.I have to disagree with your opinion that there are not many people on MFP capable of burning 1000 calories in a run.

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:
