While using the Nike Run App, it keeps pausing the workout while I’m still running. Any suggestions to get it to stop?

Hello tracie,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that your Nike+ Run Club app pauses unexpectedly when running with your Apple Watch. I would be happy to help point you in the right direction from here.

If the issue occurs only when using this specific app, try turning off "Auto-Pause Run" following the steps here:

App & Device Support | HOW DO I TURN ON AUTO-PAUSE FOR NIKE RUN CLUB?

The following support article has some additional guidance on wearing your Apple Watch for best results:

If you still experience the behavior after trying those steps, some helpful information to know would be: does this happen when working out using different apps? In the Watch app on your paired iPhone > My Watch > General, is Wrist Detection turned on or off?

Cheers!
