Thanks so much for your calories burned calculator. I do a lot of indoor training, so the 305 doesn’t compute my calories burned very well. This is a great way to work it out. Cheers!
Also wanted to thank you for the calculator. I have a Garmin Forerunner 110, which is great for running but can’t be used for swimming. As an ex-competitive swimmer, the extremely high calories burned rates on other sites seemed ridiculously off. Your calculator, with my stats, is within 10-20 calories of my Garmin’s calorie calculations (I checked), which gives me great confidence in using it for my swimming calorie expenditures…and the numbers I get from your calculator are far more reasonable than other calculators. Thank you for a great little tool!
Hey, I just wanted to let you know I love your calculators. Especially the calories burned–as long as I put in the proper VO2max, it gives me about the same number as my heart rate monitor–it’s great if I forget the watch for my HRM at home, or take a guess at my HR based on my activity (which after all of these years is disturbingly accurate).
