MFP Exercise Calculator

I wish that MFP would put in some more running times for me to select from. I work really hard to get my times down from 11:00 to 10:30 minute miles on my long runs. The only choices I have are 10 or 11.5 minute miles??? It would be really nice to have running selectable in 30 second intervals. Anyone know where I can make this suggestion to MFP?

    Agreed. Finally got my 10k time down to about 9:20-9:30 pace. I just go with the slower pace as far as the mfp calculator goes. Would rather underestimate than overestimate.

    I keep my miles per hour on MFP set to 6 and then adjust the times to match the number of miles that I ran, regardless of how fast I ran those miles.
