I use map my walk.
There is a pace actual and average
and speed actual and average.

Which should I be more concerned with?

    They both express the same value in different units so it doesn't matter.

    Speed = (1/pace) x 60

    Yep.

    Pace just shows how many minutes you're averaging for 1 mile, and speed shows how many miles you can do in 1 hour. Same thing, different ways to show it.
