workout - outdoor walk - stops the workout

When I am on an outdoor walk - the workout "outdoor walk" is stopping completely - not pausing or asking me if I stopped, the workout just spontaneously ends, even when I am still walking/moving. I've looked at the workout settings and adjusted to not pause/stop... but it is still doing it. I've also shut down/restarted, but continues to happen. Watch is only a few months old Apple Watch SE GPS, 40mm. Any suggestions are appreciated.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
