@Olaf-Gottschalk well, I just did a quick experiment.

Made a note of the current steps Started a cycling workout and paused it right away Walked around the house (counted approx. 60 steps) Stopped walking. Resumed the cycling workout and ended the workout right away. Checked the step counter

The number of steps were exactly the same before and after the cycling workout. So I would say that steps are NOT counted during a paused cycling workout.

(I also did another 60 step walk around the house without any workout activated just to be sure that these steps got properly counted. And they did.)

@Egika Sure. However, two examples:

What if I set myself a steps-goal (e.g. next workout, I want to walk 15.000 steps). I recently was on a walking workout with my wife and had my workout running. Suddenly my wife was asking: I already have 10.000 steps. How many do you have? I could not answer the question as the workout display would not tell me the number of steps. Only at the end of the workout - when I completely stopped and saved the workout - I could answer the question, finally.

I know, this might sound silly for professional sportspeople like you. But as the steps are counted anyway, why not making them available as datafield for displays during workouts? That should be very simple to implement, I suppose.

Thanks.
