How many calories do Olympic marathoners burn during a marathon?
Calories Marathoners Burn
Get information on tummy tuck before after through photos, videos and real life patients gone through tummy tuck surgery.
@Chaaarge Yes, IF they could run as fast and long with the addtitional muscle weight AND if they we in as good shape as a marathoner.

steve, wouldn’t someone with bigger muscles than a typical marathoner burn more calories per hour if they ran at the same pace? I recall you saying on your radioshow that if we have big muscles and use them we will burn more calories than someone who has smaller muscles

@BenjaminPipic well steve said it already, but you should get a science book about metabolism and biomechanics, the marathon runners are adapted to to fat burning then carbos, averge person burn about 70% carbo and 20% fat + rest creatinephospat while running, a trained athlete burns more fat AND faster, then carbo in exacpt the opposite way 70fat/20carbs way this mean more capilars and so on…

@BenjaminPipic LOL! They ABSOLUTELY DO!

@BodyPerformanceTV Marathon runners don’t burn calories any differently than anyone else. Whether it’s “fat” calories or “sugar” calories, it depends on what the person ate that day (glycogen stores). So they don’t burn a larger percentage of fat calories as you say. Regardless 1300 calories is 1300 calories, it doesn’t matter where it came from, the overall deficit is the same.
Yes, the human body becomes efficient, but comparing an marathon runner to the average trainee is apples and oranges.

@BenjaminPipic You failed to mention that marathoners burn a much larger % of fat calories. And that the average person still wouldn’t burn that many more calories. BUT they would burn more sugar calories at 4 cal/gm vs fat at 9 cal/gm. Either way our bodies are very efficient regardless of your conditioning. Lesson over! .

This video is misleading. Olympic marathoners’ bodies are far more efficient when it comes to energy use. If you run 5 miles a day for 100 days, your body will use a lot less energy on the 100th day as opposed to the first day. It’s called conditioning. Besides that, most Olympic marathoners don’t weigh more than 130 pounds.
If the average Joe could run a marathon in 2 hours, he would use up alot more than 1300 calories.

yes dude the olympic guys are fit so when ur fit u dont burn as much calories as a bigger person… so thts why im trina get a 6 pack dont knoe what to do stomach hard i can see some lines and details of the 6 pack but ppl telling me ab exercises are bad even tough im skinny i need to burn the fat that covers my abs so i dont know what to do to burn calories cardio is to easy dosnt get me tired i need something else

What about the displays on the cardio machines? I enter my weight correctly and I set it to 200W and at the end of about an hour and a half the elliptical, to name one machine, tells me I’ve burned 1,000kcal. Is that a lie or can I trust that number?
Actually it’s cool to do a few hours of cardio if only you’re entertained by bringing your own TV program with you on a video player. Otherwise the boredom, more than anything, is what would keep me from exercising regularly.

I am 250 lbs, I’m overweight and have some good muscle mass, The elliptical machine at my gym says that I burned 460 calories today in 30 minutes. Is that possible?

wrong i think? Thats some pretty basic physics right? energy is mass over distance? there’s heaps more involved in real life. such as heart rate, your body’s efficiency at glycolisis, the amount of haemoglobin in ya blood. all those contribute to how much energy you need to move. lol im even sure a 150kg person walking 1km burns more energy than a 60kg person running 5km. But who knows. crrect me if im wrong. peace

That’s like saying that I’m not working hard enough because Lance Armstrong finds it easy.

One thing he doesn’t mention is that olympic marathon runners are so fit, that they burn close 75 to 80% fat calories when they run, as opposed to regular shape joggers who probably burn 20 to 25% fat calories when jogging. The remarkable thing about olympic athletes such as marathoners is the efficiency of their fat motabolism proccesses of their fat and muscle cells.
Do the math; marathoners burn 12 kcal per minute, 9 of which are fat. You or I burn 8 kcal per min, 2 of which are fat!

what he does not talk about is the bmr which is the betal metabolic rate. a lot of times the body would have to spend more calories to maintain and prepare it self to prepare for the next period of excitation (marathon) then the calories it uses during the marathon and that is a number very hard to calculate

OK Steve, how do you explain the EPOC method….Estimated Percentage of Oxygen Consumed….which equates to calories burned after exercise at a higher rate than normal. Explain your research on this please
skiersarah | Aug 11, 2010 | Reply
I’m a little confused. Calories burned is work. It takes more energy to move a heavier person X miles than it does for a lighter person. How can you just say that 5 minute mile is 50 calories, when a 200 lb person will burn more calories in that time period than a 150 lb person? Also, how does running burn more calories than walking? For example, if you run 5 miles at 8 mph or walk 5 miles at 2 mph, you should burn the same amount of calories-but the catch is walking takes 4x longer, right?

True. I would rather not eat 500 calories then do an hour of cardio.

I agree with you about your point. Most persons have no idea how very little calories they are expending.
It is far easier just not to consume those calories than try to burn them off and only get back to the starting point.
Exercise is more for health maintenance than actual fat loss.

A 5-minute mile pace = 50 calories burned.
50 cal. x 26 miles = 1300 calories
5 minutes x 26 miles = 2 hours and 10 minutes.

The site is incorrect. I’m sorry.

Mark is incorrect about his calorie utilization figures. I never said you had to run a marathon. Nor did I say marathoners were healthy. Extreme endurance athletic actually have a higher mortality rate then regular people.

Actually as you get in better shape you’ll burn more fat calories.

i have two questions,
is it true about the marathon body and the sprinting body and is it true that if you do the same amount of cardio daily your body gets use to it and it stops burning what it used to burn when you first started?
