How We Calculate Calories Burned for Running in Baltimore
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Baltimore:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 9.8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 9.8 for running is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for Baltimore's average temperature of 54°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Running at 6 mph (10-minute mile pace) is one of the most effective calorie-burning exercises. It engages the entire body, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and builds bone density. Running triggers the release of endorphins, commonly known as the runner's high. Regular runners enjoy lower rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and depression. It is a high-impact activity that requires proper form and gradual progression to avoid injury.
