How can I edit outdoor workout time on Apple Watch?

My Apple watch didn’t recognize my end request, so kept recording an additional 6 minutes of non-exercise. Why can’t I edit the time down by those 6 minutes so I get an accurate record of my workout? That means it shows me exercising more than I did and at a slower speed!

Can I manually edit exercise data on my Apple Watch? I received a gift of Apple Watch SE after radical major surgery to help me keep track of physical therapy and walking. The watch doesn’t want to “close my exercise rings” even though I do the time at the appropriate amount of effort for my situation. I try manually adding time, and for treadmill, distance and calories and effort and it doesn’t; I try starting and stopping with Siri and it’s erratic at picking up what I’m doing. Is there a way to change the data recorded in either the health app or the “activity rings” app? I’m on Apple iPhone 16 pro, latest update. PS, I’m an elder, working within my recommended pulse ranges. [Re-Titled By Moderator]

You can delete the workout in the Health App and add it back again correctly after that manually:
