A
study titled «The influence of
wind resistance in running and walking and the mechanical efficiency of work against horizontal or vertical forces,» by LG Pugh, has shown that there is an increased
energy cost of running on a solid surface, as opposed to on a treadmill, due to air resistance.
For a person running at a typical casual runner's pace of 2.5 meters per second (9 km / hr, or 5.6 mph) it can be shown, based on data collected by LG Pugh for the
study titled «The influence of
wind resistance in running and walking and the mechanical efficiency of work against horizontal or vertical forces,» that the
energy cost of air resistance while running on solid ground is roughly 0.84 calories per kilometer (this is equivalent to approximately an extra 1.2 % calorie burn relative to a runner on a treadmill).
