Running is 8 MET, so 8 × 70 kg × 0.5 hours = 280 kcal. That is the formula this calculator uses: MET times weight in kilograms times hours.
One MET is the energy you use sitting still. An activity rated 8 MET uses about eight times that energy, so running at 8 MET burns eight times your resting rate while you run.
It is a solid estimate for most people, but real burn varies with fitness, terrain, speed and body composition. Treat it as a guide for comparing workouts, not a lab measurement.
