Suggestions to improve some running apps

Hi, here some suggestions to improve usability of some running apps:

Structured training
Possibility to switch between distance/time and pace/average pace (via upper left button for example)

Manual intervals
Possibility to switch between pace/average pace (via upper left button for example)

Marathon and Half marathon estimator
Pace is too variable and inaccurate, would be much better to use, for example, average pace of last 250mt for half and 500mt for marathon. Same problem in ghost runner estimation when you set a distance or time goal

Race time
I dont understand the utility of the app in this format. Instead would be fantastic to have the ‘true’ prediction time like Vdot or similar. App could update value every km. For example during preparation for a race I could make a serious run test, knowing my possible performance at the moment.

thx
(sorry for my poor english)

The pace is the current pace, but the estimate is based on the average pace of the last 200 meters or so, not sure about the precise value.

To the best of my knowledge, this is not like marathon and half marathon apps in which there is an attempt at predicting finish time. This is a training tool to visualize the finish time at your current pace, so you can assess if the pace you are training at would be sufficient, and if you would be able to maintain it for the full duration of the race.

Oh, I second this suggestion. That would be great!
