So true – just found the answer as well :-)

Which means running 87 km’s, or two marathons, to loose 1 kg fat in my case… :-)

Great website, btw!

I have been out of school long enough that I actually had to write down the conversion to go from calories/pound to kJ/kg! :(

And isn’t it a bummer? When I started running I could only make it 1 mile which = ~80 calories = ~1 apple. Super lame.

Yes, it takes time. I’ll be doing 3×5 km next week, and there is quite a way to the 3×10 that is my goal. But then again, 3×10 km equals about ½ kg of fat a week, wich is actually not bad at all when you think about it. Plus the metabolism etc. get’s better as well.

A little off topic but Josh Madison wrote a great little conversation program, has all kinds of conversions, if you’re interested, it’s called Convert. Only for Windows OS at this time. You can also create your own conversions with it.

Following what Deezer said Google has a brilliant convert facility, try it: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=2000+calories+to+Joules works for a lot of things as well. On the losing weight things, oh man, 87km’s for 1kg, I’ll stick to exerciseless routine for a short while yet then.
