Weekly Running Time Planner

Use this to turn a rough weekly running-energy target into minutes you can spread across repeatable easy runs.

  • Uses a simple running estimate of about 1 kcal per kg per km.
  • Converts the target into weekly minutes and minutes per session.
  • It plans running time and does not predict fat loss.
Why this matters

This estimator turns a calorie target into repeatable easy-running time, so the week starts from consistency rather than guesswork.

How to get the inputs
  • Use an easy pace you can repeat, not race pace.
  • Start with a modest weekly running-calorie target.
  • Keep sessions short enough that recovery is normal.
How to read the result

The estimate is based on distance covered at your easy pace. It does not predict fat loss by itself.

What to improve next
  • If the per-session time is too high, reduce the target or add walking.
  • Increase weekly time only after the current level feels normal.
  • Pair running with food, sleep, and strength habits.

Use the per-session time as an upper limit for the next week of easy runs.
