Apple Watch changes exercise

When I set my watch to Outdoor run it stops recording the run after a couple of miles and changes to HIIT sessions. Can anyone suggest why it’s doing this and explain how to fix it? I tried recalibrating the watch and it worked ok for a few days but now it’s doing it again 😩 thank you

Apple Watch Ultra: workout app weird bug - cannot set upper limit for pace range When trying to select a pace range in the Workout app in the Apple Watch Ultra, it only allows me to do so in the "Lower limit". When I select "Upper Limit", the options are blank. The curious thing is that this worked before, but now it is stuck like that. I have tried rebooting the watch, removing the pace range, trying to create a different, custom workout but nothing works. I did not try unpair/resetting the watch given the hassle of redownloading music etc. - any ideas?

Outdoor run race route Hey, I've got the latest update for the apple watch and was keen to compete against my previous runs. I have done the same 'route' including start & stop same spot. Same duration run. Exact same course many many times before. but when i select outdoor run - route - nothing appears. I've given it a few days to collect the data and hope they will appear but nothing. I have checked with other apple watch users who run less frequently and have completed less runs on their routes and theirs are appearing. So not sure what i'm doing wrong. Thanks.

If it is your sleeve/hand then you can turning the watch around like this;

Is your hand or sleeve catching/pressing on the side buttons of the watch?.
