A lack of exercise is not to blame for increased levels of childhood obesity, scientists have claimed.

one marathon = 2620 calories. (rough math, it all depends on how much you weigh and how fast you run, but 100cal per mile is a fair estimate, especially when one consumes food during the run)

one pound = 3500 calories.
