Activity app only shows starting location of run

This happens every now and then. After I go for a run and record it with my Apple Watch, the Activity app will only show the starting location and not the actual route. On my next run, it'll work just fine. I'm wondering if the data is still on the watch and if there's a way to have my iPhone attempt to download it again. Any ideas? If I delete the workout on my phone, would that possibly force it to download it again?

Check these settings;

To see the map, you must turn on route tracking. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services,turn location services on then tap Apple Watch Workout, then tap While Using the App.

Then tap on maps then tap While using the app.

Then tap on System Services and turn on motion calibration and distance.

Another place to check is on the watch in settings/privacy/Location Services and make sure this is turned on and scroll down to apple watch workout and select while using the app.
