I run between 10-10:45 min/mile. This is between 5.4-5.7 mph. Why isn't this option available? It skips from 5.2 to 6 mph.

    Try using the runtastic pedometer app to count you speed/ calories burned.. it will upload it to myfitnesspal after you are done when you join the accounts.

    Invest in a heart rate monitor. I have the Wahoo one and it uploads straight to my fitness pal. It will take into account your height, weight and age and obviously your heart rate so you'll get a more realistic number!

    Maybe because nobody entered it into the database as an option before?

    I just entered it, using data from this calculator: http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/WalkRunMETs.html
    But I was hasty and entered the gross calories burned rather than the net. I have no idea how to fix it, now.

    Just calculate the median between the two speeds.
