What is running economy?

Running economy is how much oxygen, and therefore energy, you use to run at a given speed. This calculator takes your VO₂, speed and body weight to express economy in ml/kg/km and energy cost per kilometre, showing how efficiently you run.

How do I calculate running economy?

Enter your measured oxygen uptake (VO₂), your running speed and your body weight. The tool normalises oxygen use to your weight and the distance covered, producing ml/kg/km so you can compare efficiency across runners and training phases.

What does good running economy look like?

Better economy means using less oxygen for the same pace, so lower ml/kg/km values are more efficient. Trained distance runners tend to be more economical than beginners, and improvements come from training, technique and reduced wasted motion.

VO₂ teen hierdie pas (ml/kg/min)

suurstofopname teen 'n bestendige submaksimale pas, bv. 40

Spoed (km/h)

die bestendige spoed wat jy gehandhaaf het, bv. 12

Liggaamsgewig (kg)

jou liggaamsgewig in kilogram, bv. 70

Twee hardlopers met dieselfde VO₂max kan baie verskillend wedywer omdat een minder suurstof teen spoed mors — dit is hardloopekonomie. Voer jou VO₂ teen 'n bestendige submaksimale pas, die spoed wat jy gehandhaaf het en jou liggaamsgewig in, en hierdie sakrekenaar gee jou hardloopekonomie in ml/kg/km plus die benaderde energiekoste per kilometer terug. Volg dit om te sien of tegniek-, krag- of skoenveranderinge jou meer doeltreffend maak.

Hardloopekonomie is die suurstofkoste van hardloop teen 'n submaksimale spoed — VO₂ gedeel deur spoed, uitgedruk as milliliter suurstof per kilogram per kilometer. Laer is beter: 'n meer ekonomiese hardloper gebruik minder suurstof teen dieselfde pas, wat na vinniger tye teen dieselfde fiksheid vertaal. Tipiese geoefende waardes is sowat 180–220 ml/kg/km. Meet teen 'n ware bestendige toestand en dieselfde spoed sodat dit vergelykbaar is.
