  What is this "exercise evaluation?"
  
  I've never seen that on this site? Are you using a Fitbit or some other device? If so, is that statement from your device?

  On Myfitnesspal you can record your Exercise manually and name it however you like by creating a new personal exercise entry.
  
  Maybe your MPH just puts you in "leisurely pace" pace? You're still lapping the guy sitting on the couch, so well done.

  Are you talking about the database entry that defines 2.5 miles per hour as a "leisurely pace"? It's just a generic description of what that will feel like for a hypothetical average person, not a personal dig. If it bothers you, why not create a custom database entry with the same calorie information and use that?
  
  When I run marathons, I sometimes check out my pace afterwards. What is a flatout intense effort for me would be a terrible day for younger or more accomplished runners. You can't let it get to you - what matters is what you get out of it and what the effort is for you.

  I cycle into howling wind my average speed under 10mph. Leisure cycling. I ride the same distance with wind at back. Not peddling average 16.5. Suddenly I’ve become a racer. This doesn’t upset me too much I never eat all the exercise calories
