Removing recorded exercise?

I have done the same a few times and now have Siri set a timer to remind me to turn off the exercise mode.

As far as fixing it, I had to delete it and kiss the data goodbye!

 

Yes...this is a significant flaw in the workout app. I use the Outdoor Cycle a lot as well, and I activate it for short commuting trips that are often just 15 to 30 minutes. I sometimes forget to pause it during stops, or stop it when I reach a destination for a while.

I'm kind of amazed that you can't edit the time on these workouts. That's kind of a fundamental feature. My average bicycling speed often looks like it's 3 or 4 MPH because I left the clock running

Maybe I will give an app like Strava or Map My Ride a try since they can sync with the Health app and they also record more info about the ride than the workouts app.

Not likely to be added since editing a workout post is not something offered by most fitness tracking apps. It usually requires a TCX file and an app to edit it.

In all likelihood Apple is going to keep the Workout app with a simple interface and a limited feature set. Apple not about to end up with another 'iTunes' by adding all sorts of features that would be great but, only for a small minority.

If you usually cycle for an amount of time then do like Newtons Apple suggested and say 'Hey Siri set timer to xx minutes'. Ore work on a routine of checking your HR or calories or... at the end to remind you to cut it off.
