Run auto recognizer measures the time of exercise wrongly

[defo900]

I have such setting in my app enabled: "Activity@Wellness -> Exercise -> Run -> 10+ minutes". The actual time of my everyday morning run is 22min. But the tracker always estimates this time as ~29min. I suspect this is because it adds the time of my walk from park to the home after run has been completed. It is exactly about 7 min of walk from park to home. At the same time, looking at the graphs of "heart rate" and "energy" one can clearly see that intensity notably decreases earlier than 29min -> around 22min. So looks like there is some bug in software? Also it is interesting..., if trackers includes the walk time,  why then it ignores the time of my walk from home to park? so in case of such situation I would expect to see:

7min (walk from home to park) + 22min(run) + 7min (walk from park to home) = 36min

and it always gives ~29min. Always - I mean on day to day basis. It is very strange... Please help to resolve this - I want to have the tracker that measure correct time of run (~22min), not including the time of walk. Thanks in advance!

@defo900 , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message and pictures. 

If you are allowing the Inspire 3 to recognize your activity, then wait still a few minutes  after you finish your run, so that the tracker identifies that the activity was finished. If you start walking on a pace, similar to your run direct after running, the Inspire 3 might "think" that you continue doing the activity! 
you can also record your run 1 time and a walk another time, so that the tracker "learns "your movement pattern.
