  • I train four days a week, using a program that includes speed work, tempo runs, and long runs. I am trying to get to a lower race weight.

  • In this situation, though, a beginner's 5K will be a lot slower than a more experienced runner's 5K. The beginner might average a 12 minute mile, which would result in fewer calories burnt than the experienced runner who averaged a 9 minute mile. And yes, once a runner becomes more experienced and "perfects" his or her…
  • It's usually lower than what my treadmill would say for the same distance, and lower than what you would get if you looked up, say, one hour of running at moderate pace on MFP.
