    Calories burned by marathon runner
    Is there an equation for calculating this?

    Thank you so much!

    Yes, but the formula is just a guideline... and it takes the person's weight into account.

    So 123lbs for Patrick, 26.2 miles for the run: He burned about (give or take) 2500 calories.
