Calculating Calorie Expenditure from Running

For running in the flats:

For mountain runs I look at work reported by Stryd. In the flats Stryd is pretty much aligned with the table above.

I spent quite some time looking into this relationship, e.g running vs calorie consumption. Taking into account all uncertainties I this is best estimate I believe one can come up with. And if you’re not running ultras I’d say the margin of error isn’t that important anyway.

Garmin/Strava or any other HR-based estimate: nonsense.
