The Workout App wants to end my run workout every 0.3 miles!

Just out of the blue today, the Workout App on my Apple Watch 5 keeps asking me if I want to end my outdoor run workout every 0.3 miles. I've never seen this behavior before. Everything worked fine with my last run two days ago. Tried powering down and restarting with no success. Ideas anyone?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

On the workout type tap on the 3 dots top right corner and tap on"Open" then start a workout and when you've finished tap on "End",Scroll down to the bottom and tap on "Done" the watch will remember your last setting and next time you do a workout it should be set to open goal,if not you may have to do it again as the watch enters whatever goal you set most and uses this as a default.



Here is a post from another forum that fixed the problem for this lady;

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 20 min 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.
