How Many Calories Do You Burn?

How many calories do you burn when you run? Here's a weight- and speed-adjusted table

These are the calories burned per 10 minutes of running at speeds from 12 minutes/mile to 5:30. The numbers are based on data from the Compendium of Physical Activities, published in the January 1993 issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.

Speed (min/mile) 12 10 9 8 7 6 5:30

I train 5 times a week (one long run (8 miles), one speed work session, one 5/6 mile run, plus swimming and strength work 5 times a week. I'm working up to a half-marathon, and I'm desperately trying to lose weight (I'm 5'4" and about 11 stone) but despite eating less than 1500 calories a day, I'm losing very little weight. I'm permanently hungry, and suffer from low blood sugar if I'm not very careful. Any advice?
