The simple answer is no, please try to avoid pausing the recording of your runs on your sports watch or phone app.
In order to fully understand your fitness and response to training, TrainAsONE analyses every second of your run in a multitude of ways and its relation to proceeding and subsequent seconds. Consequently, rest periods are important data points. The problem is that all 3rd party sports watches and phone apps, when in pause mode, stop recording data. This leads to loss of valuable data and will affect analysis.
There are two main issues with not pausing:
Its effect on elapsed vs active duration and average pace as reported in other platforms. Following guided workouts on a 3rd party device becomes problematic when running to duration. Two possible options for this are to either alter your settings so that workouts are guided by distance, or use the TrainAsONE mobile app for workout guidance as this copes with pauses.
TrainAsONE currently only reports total elapsed duration and the activity's average pace is based on this. We recognise that for some people the resultant drop in reported average pace is important. As such (and as we already know your rest periods as an artefact of our existing analysis) we do intend to surface elapsed vs active metrics in the (near) future. Please bear with us.
