About this calculator
The Cost Energy Run Calculator is a useful tool for athletes and coaches who want to understand the relation between energy consumption and distance run during a race.
This calculator uses the simple, yet effective, formula of E ≈ 1 kcal/kg/km to calculate the cost energy of the run, considering the athlete's weight and distance run.
It's worth noting that this calculator is a supporting tool and should not be used as the only means of evaluating performance or physical conditioning. Additionally, it's essential to consider common precautions, such as adequate hydration and nutrition during training.
