That’s only true for people who are both light and efficient runners.
A better rule of thumb, at least for men, is 1kCal/hour for zone 2 or light zone 3 training.
- dx034 4y agoIf you like metric, a good approximation is also 1 calorie per kilometer and kilogram of body weight. So a 80kg person running a 10k will approx. burn 800 calories. Only an approximation but seems to roughly fit many "measurements" by smart watches for both males and females of different weight ranges.
