Edit workout time logged in Activities

Is there a way to edit Exercise logged by Apple watch to shorten the time period if you forget to end your exercise on time?

I regularly start an Exercise time and forget to end it when I finish my workout. I'll notice a few hours later that the timer is still running. When I end the timer the exercise is logged and the time spent exercising is much longer than it should be. It also affects average heart rate over the time period.

Can I edit the workout time period to manually set an end time? I typically know roughly how long the workout was, and could at least get a closer/more accurate end time set.

I can't find a way to do this on the Activity app on the Apple Watch, or in Activity or Health apps in iOS. You can remove health data in the Health app but I'm afraid this will just delete the entire exercise/workout period.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6

AFAIK, you can delete the entire workout, but you cannot edit any of the data in the workout.

You can set a reminder to alert you when the watch thinks the workout has ended. See the "Get reminders to end your workout" section in:

Work out with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Alternately, when you start a workout, tap the circle with the 3 dots in the upper right corner to set/unset workout goals.

Then you can set a goal for 30 minutes, say, to remind you.

You can delete the mistaken workout then enter a new one in the health app on the phone.

Open Apple Health:

click on browse

click on workouts

click on show all data

find the workout that is incorrect (write down or remember the date and time,(it is shown on this page)

swipe left and a delete option will show

click delete

Then in the activity app

Tap on workout,then tap on the workout with the date you got from above and swipe left on that workout and tap on delete.

Then you can add a new workout in the health app.
