To calculate the calories burned during a half marathon:
\[ \text{HMC} = \frac{BW}{150} \times 1500 \]
Where:
The half marathon calorie calculation estimates the number of calories burned during a half marathon based on body weight. It provides an estimate of the energy expenditure for a runner during the race. This is useful for understanding the impact of the exercise on calorie consumption and for planning dietary needs before and after the run.
Let's assume the following body weight:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{HMC} = \frac{160}{150} \times 1500 \approx 1600 \text{ calories} \]
The estimated calories burned are approximately 1600 calories.
