Moving Time vs Elapsed Time Definition

Elapsed time is the full stopwatch from start to finish. Moving time pauses the clock whenever you stop, so the two differ once you have waited at lights or paused to tie a shoe.

When it helps

When you want to understand why your run time and your splits do not quite line up.

When it doesn't

During a race, where only elapsed time counts and the moving-time figure is irrelevant.
