I run twice a week during the week. These two runs are more for speed than distance, so I average about an 11 minute mile. I've been wanting to start running on the weekends for distance and started today. I ran 7.54 miles but my average pace was 14 min/mile. The exercise database on MFP only goes up to a 12 minute mile. How do I log my run? I understand it's not fast by any stretch of the imagination but it's an improvement for me.

    You can always add an exercise to the database, do you use a HRM to determine the calories burned?

    When MFP didn't have the speed I wanted, I used an online calculator and added it. (I don't have an HRM.)

    if you have a smart phone, you can try www.runkeeper.com and it will track you while you are doing your run by GPS. Then you can log the results on MFP.
