When discussing race day nutrition it is important to understand the energy requirements. The average athlete expends approximately 100 calories per mile during a marathon. During a triathlon, the athlete expends approximately 500 to 1000 calories on the swim, 3,000 to 4,000 calories on the bike, and 2,500 to 3,000 calories on the run. Wow! That is some serious energy expenditure.
Half Mile Burn. A person who weighs 150 pounds will burn between approximately 300 and 600 calories while running for 30 minutes, depending on speed. This means, she may burn between 10 and 20 calories per minute. By running at a 5 mph pace, she'll only burn approximately 60 calories in the six minutes it takes to complete a half mile. If this person runs at 10 mph and finishes the distance in 3 minutes, she will still burn 60 calories.
