Don’t calculate the distance when I pause!

I walk, take a bus or train, then restart to walk. I would like Strava to calculate only the part where I walk but I didn’t find a solution except start-finish and then start-finish a second time. And then add the 2 distances, the 2 times,… and how can I handle the average bmp and the rest? 
I tried using Pause during my bus/train use, but Strava still considers that I walked during the Pause and add the m or km to the total. I don’t want that!

You might want to submit an “idea” then (not ask a question), so that other users can vote and Strava PMs actually get to see your request. Here's how it works:

Hi ​@Patriziaf,

Strava includes "connection points" on the map where you've paused an activity by connecting the last point recorded before the pause with the first point recorded after the resume. That's how Strava is designed. You'll need to end an activity before getting on a bus/train, and start a new activity when you're ready to continue.

Thanks, I understand. 

Consider it a feature request…
