    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?

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    @MeanderingMammal Looks very scenic.

    I was able to get HHM2 W4D2 done today.

    HHHM2 W4D3 is in the books. Long slow run this weekend. I think it bumps up to 7 miles this week.

    Finished my HHHM2 W4D4 today. It was a very nice run.

    Knocked out my HHHM2 W5D1 today. I'll be running a half marathon before I know it.

    @upsaluki -- you're doing great on your HM training! Keep it up!
  • Posts: 553 Member
    I did HHHM2 W5D2 Wednesday and W5D3 today. Getting close to half way there.

    @upsaluki You are doing great! Be proud of your dedication and achievements!

    My long slow run was petty slow. 8 miles but four stops. Three for water and one for a hill. On to week 6.

    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. :neutral:

    I'm pretty slow, but love running so I don't worry about it. I like to say I'm slow but willing

    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.

    HHHM2 W7D4 nine miles today. Getting stronger, but staying slow.
  • Posts: 5,926 Member
    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.
