Allow audio coach to keep talking while stationary

It appears that audio coach notifications (talking) are disabled while stationary? Or please advise on which setting to change. Here are the track recording profile settings I have:

I would often still like to hear the audio coach while stationary. For example (below) with current time, but importantly heart rate. Here is an audio coach "profile" I use while running:

Maybe the setting "Record only when moving" should apply to the audio coach, or better, there could be an explicit new setting for each audio coach profile?

Have now also noticed that heart rate values are not recorded while stationary, even though setting (1st screen cap) "Record only while moving" is off ;-(

Hello Andrew,

the problem with the audio coach is that it reacts to changes in the recorded track. This means that if your condition prevents adding new trackpoints, the audio coach won't inform you about changes. This should be changed (similar to the dashboard some time ago). I agree.

No one has made the obvious (?) suggestion of reducing my Time Interval from 240s to (say) 60s; or to match the time interval of the Audio Coach! Problem solved, even if somewhat of a hack.

Ah yes, it may help :)
Anyway, idea is still valid. The audio coach is too limited to recorded points. It anyway requires a change in how the track recording works in the background. A little risky and bigger task ...

I tried it yesterday & worked perfectly. I'm happy to reduce 240s to 60s as a workaround.
