Why doesn't Workout record short runs, especially between walks?

Scenario:

I start an "Outdoor Run". I run for less than 1 minute. I stop the run activity on the watch.

- "Workout" records as part of a walk.

Why?

User experience/feeling:

This is inaccurate and very irritating - not "smart".

I hope I'm missing something or else, I spent $800.00 for a stupid watch.

Request:

I would like Workout to record my activities as I specify them, please, not as it assumes them to be.

• How do I configure that?
