MVP - Coaching

I am really liking the MVP add on to MapMyRun+ on my iPhone. 

With MVP status my friends can track me live, I can recorded heart rate*, I can record number of steps*, and I can have the coaching option voice tell me every minute that I am running too fast, too slow, or good job. You can also switch the voice off on the coaching option and have it just play tones.

The one thing I don't like about the coaching option is that the "good job!" range is within like 5%. I wish I could set a +/- variance because at a 10 minute mile, that is 30 seconds either way. Seems like a lot to me.

It is great when you run a long stretch and you hear current pace between 9:29 and 9:41 for over a half mile.

Question is, can I do that at a slower pace and keep it going. We shall see when I run my next long run.

Shoes are doing well. They were snug but not too light. New shoes seem more cushiony. I am thinking my old ones are wore out. Maybe I'll save then and use them in a mud run so I can dispose of them afterwards.

Today's run:
