You pretty much can't. You'd need to run for 6-8 hours per day to burn 8000 calories. For most people who are not professional athletes, that's impossible between work and sleep. To get much beyond 1000 cal/hr output, you need to get into the anaerobic region, which will exhaust you long before you can burn 8000 calories.
