Trojan asteroid seen in Earth's orbit by Wise telescope. Read more about sharing. Astronomers have detected an asteroid not far from Earth, moving in the same orbit around the Sun. The 200-300m-wide rock sits in front of our planet at a gravitational sweet spot, and poses no danger.
Calories Burned. A half mile is a relatively short distance to run, so you shouldn't expect a big calorie burn. According to the website Cool Running, a 200-pound person will burn 79 calories running half a mile. A 175-pound person will use less energy, burning just 69 calories per half mile.
You see the question how many calories do you burn running a mile asked a bit when looking at running as an exercise related to calorie counting. I thought I would use this calorie burn calculator to put together a table of the calories burned running a mile. An estimate of the calories burned running can be formed, based on the weight of the runner and how fast they are running.
