Weight

A person weighing 125 lbs. will burn 300 calories, while a person weighing 185 lbs. will burn 444. The average calories burned will be between 335 and 372 for a person weighing between 125 and 185 pounds. This assumes jogging at an average speed of 6 mph/10-minute mile.
Speed
-
Your average speed also dictates number of calories burned. At a rate of 6 mph, for every 30 lbs. you weigh you will burn 72 calories. Example: If you weigh 142 lbs., you will burn 340.8 calories (your weight ÷ 30 x 72). Add or subtract 5 calories for every .1 mph faster or slower than 6 mph.

Time Frame
-
As long as you maintain the same average speed, you will burn calories at the same rate if you jog 15 minutes or 2 hours.
Effects
-
Muscle tissue burns calories faster than fat. As you strengthen your body with exercise, you gain muscle, thus burning calories quicker. Every 3,500 calories you burn is 1 lb. lost.
Benefits
-
Along with burning calories and gaining muscle, you will also be doing your heart a big favor.
