Nice in theory, not in practice

I really like what this app tries to do - I like that it has a beginner feature and an "improve my time" feature. However, the paces that are recommended based on my stats are simply absurd. Ive run a few 5ks. My best race pace was 11:23 min/mile so I put 12:00 into the app as my last 5k pace, to be conservative. Id like to get down to 10 min/mile so that is my target 5k pace in the app. So based in these settings, for my first workout, which is supposed to be an "easy 20 min jog to get you started," the default pace is 6.4 mph or 9:22 min/mile!!! Are they crazy? I dont know if the app is broken or the programmers are out of their minds. But how is that a realistic pace with the stats I entered? I ran 5 minutes at that pace and had to slow down to 5.2 mph for the rest of my run just to avoid walking. Really annoying. Unless they fix the pacing, I wont be using the app. Whats the purpose? I could just write down a plan from a magazine and wing it on the paces if they are not going to provide proper coaching. Boo on this one.
