Answer 2

Answer 3

Depends on a variety of factors like weight, body composition, gender, fitness, speed, endurance, and more.

A general rule of thumb is 100-125 calories burnt per mile, which would result in 200-250 calories burnt after 2 miles.

Answer 4

You burn approximately 100 calories per mile you run, the faster you run those 2 miles the more you will burn.

Answer 5

There's 2 factors you should give.. 1) How much do you weigh. Big difference if you weigh 140lbs or 220lbs 2) How fast will you run the 2 miles? 15mins? 25mins?

I think meee's treadmill is a little generous.. I'd say about 275-300 calories @ 5mph for a 160lbs guy.

Answer 6

running doesn't burn very many calories (about 100 a mile) but it boosts your metabolism, so for the rest of the day you'll burn calories faster.

Answer 7

It depends on your speed. I run two miles on my treadmill every day, and I've burned between 350- 400 calories. My speed was 5, increasing to 6 throughout the workout. However, today I walked two miles instead of running, and I burned less than 300. :)

Really? Wow, my treadmill must be good...haha. Because I'm about 107 lbs.
