Subject: Exercise Calorie Output - HRM vs. Runkeeper vs. MyFitnessPal For the curious, I've done a few recent training runs wearing my Heart Rate Monitor, and my phone logging Runkeeper, and posting to MyFitnessPal afterwards. The routes were different, but very similar (pancake flat ). I'm a 6'0" male that currently weighs 195 pounds.
Here are the numbers for calories burned:
Run #1 - 5.11 mile run, 50:51 time (9:57 min/mile pace ), avg. HR was 151 BPM.
HRM = 804 kcal
Runkeeper = 783 kcal
MyFitnessPal = 770
Very consistent numbers.
Run #2 - 5.04 mile run, 49:45 time (9:53 min/mile pace ), avg. HR was 145 BPM.
HRM = 695
Runkeeper = 772
MyFitnessPal = 740
A little more variance, but still pretty close.
Just thought I would share for the inquisitive minds here on BT. :- )
