I can do that distance in 5:30 pretty leisurely, so a 5 minute mile means I am going 12 mph.
So there is definitely something off with the speeds, I guess I am not the bad ass I thought I was, hahah.

I'll work on getting the calorie counter working accurately too, it's kind of rough because from what I remember there were like four settings which were basically: sedentary, somewhat active, active, and very active.
No I was talking about the kcal not the speed. In order for the kcal to be right you'll have to have the user setup done so that it can calculate it right.
Moderate pace 75-80% max heart rate usually is around 500 or so. Your HR would be under that number thats why I asked.
