How many pounds can you lose in a one mile run?

Answer 1

On average, you burn about 100 calories for each mile you run. However, it varies depending on factors like age, how much you weigh, how fast you run, etc. For example, a heavier person will burn more calories than someone who is already fit. Also, the faster you run, the more calories you burn.

Answer 2

Any attempt at weight losshas to start with controlling what you eat, as the foods we have available today can be so high in calories. If you aren't controlling your intake it's pretty much impossible to exercise any weight away.

And for weight loss by running 2 miles - well, that depends on how often you plan to run them and how hard you intend to be running. For a single 2-mile run you won't lose anything measurable. It should take less than 30 minutes, which isn't enough time to let you burn many calories.

The next thing is how hard you're running. If you're basically going on a fast walk you won't be losing many calories that way.

But again - you've got to start with controlling your diet. Once you're able to do that and get in a 2-mile run each day you should be seeing some progress. It'd be even better if you can work yourself up to a 4-mile run. So be strict with yourself and don't expect any miracles.

Answer 3

Very, Very little.

1 mile= 100 calories on an average 165lb man (if you weigh less, you will burn less calories/mile, if you're female, you will burn less) or about the calorie content of a small apple

1 pounds of fat = 3500 calories

So you would lose one pound in approximately 35 days or about ten per year.

The problem being of course, your body will get used to running that distance and your calorie burn will lessen every time you go running because you're used to it. This will mean that you will end up losing less weight in the long run because you're burning less calories. To solve that you can either 1)run up hills 2)run further.

Answer 4

All depends on how fast you run, how heavy and how fit you are. You would never lose a pound of weight from running one mile though, you would need to run many miles over a period of time whilst eating less fat than you are burning.

Answer 5

It depends on your diet. If you snack, you won't lose much. If you don't snack then probably between 5-10 pounds. But, if you get your metabolism up before you eat then, you'll digest faster and lose weight and, setting up straight also helps your metabolism.

Answer 6

you can not lose a full pound from a mile, but you can burn up to 240 calories in just one mile of walking

Answer 7

You may loose 200 grams running for that one hour.

Answer 8

About 1/2 ounce (1/32 of a pound) of body fat. In terms of calories, you'll be burning 60 to 100 calories, depending on your body type.

Answer 9

It really depends on the person.
