Manual Pause and Restart

I have an existing CIQ app that can do something similar (but not quite what you asked for): beep/vibrate when you start moving after stopping, regardless of whether your activity is paused or not.

Exactly what you're asking for wouldn't be possible with a CIQ data field app that gets added to an existing built-in activity, only a full CIQ "device app" which would replace your run (or other) built-in activity. Since such apps have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to almost all of the functionality of a built-in activity, they're rarely suitable alternatives (unless they implement some sport that your watch doesn't)

The app is called Appbuilder 5 and it's a data field that you can add to any built-in activity. It hasn't been updated since last year, so it's not available for the very latest watches, but if your watch is on the list, you should be able to use it.

I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but provided your watch supports it, you can start using it today.

Use the following settings:

Label: Pace

Formula: when(speed_raw lt 0.89408, 5, 5, 0, 1); speed

Display Format: Pace

What this does:

- beeps/vibrates when you start moving for 5 seconds, after having stopped for 5 seconds. the threshold for "stopping" is moving slower than 2 mph (or 0.89408 metres/second)

(these thresholds can be tweaked by changing the corresponding numbers in the formula - see below for more detail)

You'll note that the alert happens regardless of whether the activity is paused or not. That would probably be a bit too complex for this app to handle.

- displays your pace, with a label of "Pace"

(the app has to display something, so may as well let it display pace. if you want it to display something else, refer to the manual linked in the store's app description, replace "speed" after ";" with whatever you want and change the label and display format accordingly)

Explanation:

- speed is your speed in either km/h or miles/hour (depending on device settings).

- the pace display format will cause speed to be converted to pace (minutes per km or minutes per mile, depending on device settings

- speed_raw is your speed in metres per second

- 0.89408 metres per second is 2 mph, which is strava's moving threshold for running activities. (we can't use 0, since GPS error / drift will cause you to appear to be moving even when you're standing still.)

- when(speed_raw lt 0.89408, 5, 5, 0, 1) - when() is a function that takes up to 5 arguments and alerts the user under certain conditions

  - (1st argument) speed_raw lt 0.89408 - this will be true when speed (in m/s) is less than 0.089408. This is the condition that the when() function will look at when it decides whether or not to alert the user

  - (2nd arg) 5 - time (in seconds) that the condition must be true in order for an "inbound alert" to be triggered

  - (3rd arg) 5 - time (in seconds) that the condition must be false (after becoming true) for an "outbound alert" to be triggered

  - (4th arg) 0 - this is the "inbound alert" setting for when the condition becomes true. 0: do nothing. 1: beep/vibrate (*). 2: beep: 3: vibrate. In this case, when you stop moving, you won't be notified

  - (5th arg) 1 - "outbound alert" setting for when the condition becomes false (after being true). In this case, when you start moving again, you will be notified by a beep and vibration (*)

(*) Beeps/vibrations are subject to device capabilities and settings. e.g. If you want the field to beep, then your device has to support beeps and beeps ("alert tones") to be enabled in the system settings
