what do I do when I see a mile split - make it go away

My watch really wants to tell me things I don't want to know about. When it tells me my previous mile split at the exact same time I need to see my elapsed time and my heart rate, I try to get it off the "mile split" screen, but then I somehow put it on a Podcast screen (I never ever need my watch to tell me anything about a podcast) and then I try to swipe that away so I can see my elapsed time and heart rate - all while in the middle of a run workout - and I've "successfully" ended my run in the middle of a run......

so....what do I do when I get the "mile split screen" to immediately take it off that screen and go back to the screen I use when I'm running, which as elapsed time, heart rate, rolling mile, etc..

Also: what do I do to get my watch to never tell me about anything related to a podcast, especially in the middle of my run?

I don't use my watch for 90% of the apps it has on it, and I try my best to remove those apps, remove the notifications, etc, but every time I run and I want to get back to the main running screen (it thinks I want to see all kinds of notifications in the middle of a run) I somehow go to a podcast screen. I don't want that! I just want to be able to see my main running screen while I'm running. It's nice to get a mile split notification, but how the heck to I swipe it away and get back to my running screen quickly? without risking ending or pausing or doing anything else?

how do I combine two runs that I had to create because my watch keeps ending a run in the middle? I have two runs, one after the other, with no time in between, but I can't record it as such because my watch ended my run. My watch thinks I want to do all kinds of things other than see the main screen when I run.

Please help! I google, I read the watch guidebook, but I'm still wondering how the heck to make this a better running watch that doesn't pause, end, show other notifications, and do anything except help me see what I need to see when I'm running. Thank you.
