Run Interval - Pause rolling when device screen is lock

**Before reporting a potential bug, please first try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. **

In order for our technical engineers to reproduce and understand your problem as quickly as possible, we usually need answers to the following questions :point_down:t2:

-Description of every single step you made until you encountered this error-what did you do, what happened?
:point_right:t2:

Starting a training session as usual using Interval Run, I begin running and then place my phone in my running pouch. I normally do not run with my phone in my hand.

With Interval Run, the vocal coach is supposed to announce when the interval switches. However, when the device screen locks, the vocal coach stops giving audio cues, and the timer appears to stop or pause as well. Once the screen is unlocked again, the timer resumes normally and the vocal coach starts working again.

As a result, interval running becomes very difficult when the device screen is locked because:

  • No audio cues are played

  • The timer stops or pauses

I really do not want to run while holding my phone in my hand.

Please fix this issue.

Thanks.
