Garmin Vivoactive 3 data screens change during activity

Several times when I go on a run activity with my Garmin Vivoactive 3 watch, the data screens change during the activity. I have set 4 data screens:

  • total time
  • distance
  • pace
  • time of day

However, during the run, the watch changes to 4 data screens with the following:

  • lap time
  • total time
  • pace
  • heart rate

I have no idea why the watch changes data screens during a run, but I think that it could be related to the fact that I have temporarily paused my run e.g. at traffic lights, and when I re-commence, the data screens have changed.  It is not clear how to resume the activity after this pause, and maybe I am resuming it in the wrong manner.  A big red arrow appears on the watch face, but I don't know the correct procedure to continue from this point.  I think that I swiped right to resume?

Any clues?
