Workouts keep pausing

Hi, when I am walking and using the activity app on my watch OS12, if I stop for a few minutes the workout pauses but does not automatically restart when I start walking again. This is new behaviour for watch OS4 and I wanted to know if there is any way to disable this feature? Many times I am talking with a friend and forget to dismiss the dialog saying the workout is paused, so I miss the rest of my walk.

Apple Watch Series 3, iOS 12.0.1, null

This setting can be adjusted in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Scroll down to the workout app and turn off run auto pause
