Calorie Burn Running: Estimated Calories Burned at a 6-Minute Mile

Question
I weigh 185 pounds. How many calories will I lose if I run a 6 minute mile?

Answer
Well, it will take approximately 140 calories of energy to complete that mile, as an estimate.  I know for myself at a weight of 180, I will burn about 140 calories/mile for my personal runs.  You may try the site exrx.net to discover some fitness calculators, or go to Runner's World's site, runnersworld.com, and use some fitness calculators there to see some estimates.  I believe the faster you run a set mile, the more calories you are going to burn not only during, but after as well, due to the stress/recovery you need from such a hard, high intensity run, versus a medium/slower pace run to cover the same distance.
