My watch is not resuming once paused after starting the outdoor run activity. I did a 4.5 mile run today at an 11 minute mile pace (I used another app on my phone to track), but my watch had stopped after 10 seconds and didn’t resume at all! How do I get the watch to resume the run? I thought that going back to running it should resume!
Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9
