Pause a workout

What’s the most correct way of saving a long workout with pauses?
Save each part of workout as a separate part, or save the whole workout including with pauses?

I also see if I do a pause and my Garmin 530 time stops, in the uploaded file the time continues regardless if the Garmin time is stop or not. Is this correct?

Intervals.icu will eliminate the pauses when calculating training load and so on so you should probably just keep it all as one activity. Each record is timestamped with the current time so yes time continues when paused.

Pauses influence certain parameters, especially W’…
If you pause at a hill top and don’t keep recording, your W’ will not recover and it then becomes impossible to correctly calculate.
So you should always keep pauses in your record. I have all automatic pause settings disabled.

Hi, I have my garmin un autopase when I stop riding. Is there a way to ignore these periods to get the average speed only when moving?

search for “speed” in the activity Fields under “custom”. YOu can try “equivalent Speed” or “Avg Speed” (both by @R2Tom)
