Although there are some variables that play into the answer (fitness level, intensity, surface, etc.), the answer is probably not.

Here's why: A pound is worth about 3,500 calories. That means that 30 minutes of running would have to burn those 3,500 calories.

While running is good exercise, 30 minutes will burn in the range of 300 to 500 calories, depending on fitness level, weight, speed, and whether the surface is flat or maybe inclines, causing more exertion and calories burned. In general, faster speeds will burn more than slower speeds, hence the range I noted.

However, if you run 4-5 times per week, the calories can be burned. And if you run, I hope you stay with it!
