Lets try it another : way. There are 7,716 calories per kg. Don't know you weight, running conditions, speed etc. But if you were to run a mile a day - that would be about 100 calories. So it would take 77 miles to lose that weight (if everything else is held in check).

Watch your eating: At 6 mph you will only burn about 100 calories per ten minutes. You need to burn 7700 calories more than you eat to lose 1Kg! That works out to 77 days or 2.5 months and a few days. You can more effectively lose weight by looking at your diet at the same time. You can actually have more of an impact on your weight loss by healthier eating choices and decreasing your calories that way.
