Customisation of measurement units

Please can you allow for greater customisation of measurement units by providing the option to choose the unit in which each individual metric will be recorded/displayed, rather than applying a general unit system to the entire interface.

By way of example, I like to track my runs and rides in miles but measure my weight in kilograms. The three options currently available - Statute UK, Metric and Statute - do not allow me to input information in this way. As a result, I use Statute UK and weigh myself on scales in kilograms then convert the number into pounds before inputting it. I know I could just weigh myself in pounds, but it is not a unit I am overly familiar with and I find it much easier to track my progress if my weight is measured in kilograms (and even stones and pounds would be better than just pounds). Likewise, I am so used to measuring distances in miles that I cannot switch to kilometres easily.

Incidentally, I am from the UK but I wasn't aware that pounds is the "Statute UK" unit of measurement for weight. I think most people in the UK measure their weight in stones and pounds - which isn't available as an option.
