WatchOS 4 how to switch between trainings

I just got myself the new Apple Watch 3. And what I like is, that I can start multiple Trainings, and pause others while I do something else. BUT, what I haven't found and think that without that it makes no sense, how to switch between already started/paused trainings.

For example, I start with Outdoor bicycle, then pause that and walk for a while (with my bike) and want to use that for a walking training, so I pause cycling and start a new one with walking. But now I reached a point where I want to continue with the previously started, and paused, cycling. How can I switch to that again and not need to start cycling new ?

Because otherwise I think multiple trainings make no sense, if I cant switch between them. Could someone please tell me how to do that ? Thanks so much.

Hi

It is not possible to pause and switch back and forth between multiple existing workout sessions, resuming a previously paused activity after having started another one.

Instead, when you are ready to switch to a new activity without ending your workout session: swipe to the left-most screen in the Workout app, tap on the "+" sign and select a new activity type for the continuation of your workout.

I was afraid of that.

Thats why I think its bull to give the option to start & pause multiple trainings, if I cant go back to one or the other and continue those. What it ends up with, is like instead a 20 km bike ride and some walking in between, I will have like 3 or 4 pieces of bike rides instead of just keeping it in one thing.

Not sure why Apple didnt add that as well. But thanks for confirming what I already suspected. 😉
