I have a Garmin 110 and no matter what pace I run, MFP lists my running at an 11.5 minute mile pace. I assume it is using the calories burned from the Garmin but does anyone know why it always post the same pace?1

Short answer is : MFP is Stupid!
Longer answer : MFP has only several 'speeds' and will round your pace to the nearest one.2 -

For me, it doesn't round to the nearest one, it rounds up to the next level... so if I run an avg pace of 9:03 it will show that my pace was 10. Sometimes it messes with my head, but it does keep me motivated to stay under that next threshold... like the other day, I had a couple miles around 8:50-55 and a couple around 9:05-10, so it pushed me to get that last mile under 9 so I wouldn't show my pace as 10. Haha. But, it would be nice if MFP would fix it so there were different levels that were maybe a half minute a part.1 -
Finished W3D2 of HHHM2 this morning. I've had a sick kid this week so all of my running is going to get squeezed in during the holiday weekend.2

I ran my long run for HHHM2 W3D3 today. I'm visiting my folks in Upper Michigan, so I got to run along Lake Superior for the day.2

I am running in the high 9 to low 10 minute range and it always comes in at 11.5 minute range. It is frustrating when you know you are running faster than that.
I ran a 5K yesterday that I ran last year and cut 3 1/2 minutes off my time! I came in at 30:45 which was very good for me for the course. Someday maybe I will break that 30 minute mark.

@woodwardtm Congrats and nice finish for your 5K! -- I get it with the issue with MFP timing... the jump from 10 to 11.5 is pretty big, so when your average comes in at 10:01 or higher, it jumps to the next level, which is 11.5. Frustrating for sure!1

HHHM2 W4D1 done today. Trying to keep on schedule this week.2

My long slow run was petty slow. 8 miles but four stops. Three for water and one for a hill. On to week 6.2

Hi y'all. I'm still with it. Had to take a week off when I couldn't overcome my crappy sleeping schedule. (Hubby worked 12 hour night shifts) I'm back on track (literally lol) and started C210K week 12 today.
Mile1 : 13:51
Mile 2: 12:40
Mile 3: 12:30
Mile 4: 12:21
Mile 5: 12:14
5.48: 15:14
I may not be fast, but I'm consistent. I guess. Should I even be worried about my pace, or should I just concentrate on getting through the program at this point?

I wouldn't worry about pace at this point.
Great job getting back at it! Maybe I will get back at it someday.

I'm pretty slow, but love running so I don't worry about it. I like to say I'm slow but willing3 -
Since my last post I did two workouts in week 6, then had to skip two because I was doing some fairly demanding physical work. This week I've got the first two runs of week 7 done.2

I ran this morning, first time since April. I started with Zero to 10k, week 4 day 1. It wasn't as bad as I had expected. I will jump to week 5 next time.
Just over 2 miles in 25:32 including some walking intervals.3
