How to reset workout goal to "Open"?

My Apple Watch insists on a 4,000 calorie goal for my outdoor walk. How do I change back to "open" goal?

I tried deleting the outdoor walk and then re-adding it, but it still comes back with the calorie goal. I also force rebooted. Again, no effect. I aldd as I tried setting calories to zero. Again, no effect.

This is really annoying. The same question was asked 4 years ago, I see, and no one knew the answer.

Apple Watch Workout goals For some reason my watch added a calorie goal to my open run. I know I didn’t because I didn’t even know it was an option. Now my indoor run is always set to burning 275 calories(while it’s great for my health, I don’t ALWAYS want to have to run a 5k and I HATE incomplete goals). I have tried the 3 dots, and selecting open but it still won’t remove the calorie goal. Any fix for this?

How to change the goal within a Workout on Apple Watch 6 For some reason, when I am using the Hiking workout on Apple Watch 6, the watch has chosen 610 calories as my goal. I don't want to use calories as my goal as I would prefer to have an Open goal. Try as I might, I have been unable to substitute Open Goal for 610 calories within the Hiking Workout. I have hit the 3 dots trying to change the goal to Open, but it doesn't change. Same issue within the Pickleball workout app on the watch. The watch thinks I want to work out for 10 minutes and I have tried to change the goal to Open Goal but have been unsuccessful. Would appreciate any counsel as to how to accomplish this change of goal within a workout. Thank you
