Hello 61RKS!
Looks like you are having some trouble with your Apple Watch pausing during workouts. That sounds like it would definitely be an issue, let's see if we can get that resolved. To start, make sure you don't have Running Auto Pause enabled on that device. To do that go to the Watch app on your iPhone > My Watch > Workout > Running Auto Pause > Off. You may also want to make sure that your Apple Watch is secured firmly to your wrist during your workout, as if you have wrist detection enabled and the Watch becomes loose it can pause the workout until it is secure again.
We hope those steps help! Take care.
