Changing the goals for a specific workout activity

My outdoor walk goal is set to 3 hours and 55 minutes in the workout menu. Unrealistic and frustrating on most days. I can select open once with the 3 dots but thereafter the default reverts to 3:55. There must be a way to set the default back to open goal.

I read this on another thread;

What I did to fix it was start an "OPEN GOAL" outdoor walk, and walked vigorously for about 1/2 an hour and just hit end when I was done. It still had a time set in yellow when I was finished. But the next day the 20 minutes had disappeared and OPEN GOAL was back in green, so I am assuming that is how you fix it. It must reset to the last thing you did overnight.


As you say the 3 dot method doesn't reset back to open goal permanently,maybe this will work for you.
