Factor in your basic metobalic rate (good luck pinpointing that), and that 1 lb is 3,500, and you might be able to figure out how many calories you are burning from your run after tracking these stats for several weeks. Probably more effort than it's worth but if you are already tracking all calories, could be interesting? | |

| Nov 12, 2011 at 16:53 | comment | added | jamuraa | Well, I'm taking the time from the Runkeeper which is recorded on my phone (and I've tested independently to be accurate at at least keeping track of how much TIME it takes) and put it into Dailymile, so shouldn't the average pace still be correct? | |
| Nov 12, 2011 at 16:04 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | The route may be accurate, the pace at which you traveled may not be :-) Either way, without knowing your heart rate or oxygen consumption estimating your calories is really a wild guess. | |
| Nov 12, 2011 at 15:56 | comment | added | jamuraa | The RunKeeper run is tracked with the GPS on my phone, which is in my pocket. It's not always accurate because of trees on the route, sometimes overestimating. The Dailymile route was mapped by hand so it's fairly accurate. | |
| Nov 12, 2011 at 8:30 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | did you just use a GPS or did you also use a heart rate monitor? | |
