My current running (jogging) speed is only 4.0 mph and the slowest the app has is 5.0 mph. If you were me, how would you log this? I don't have a heart rate monitor that will tell me the calories burned.

    I would see how many calories MFP gives you for walking 4.0 and then see how many calories it gives you for running 5.0 and then add a new activity for yourself and split the difference between those two amounts. You'll burn more jogging 4.0 than walking it, and less than running 5.0. I think that will give you a pretty good estimation.

    I am like you. I do 3 miles in 50 minutes so I do the 5 mph one but I type in less time so that it only reads 167 calories.
