Reset open goal in workout on Apple watch

Somehow I have set a goal of 16 minutes as my outdoor walk workout. I want to reset this to open goal but have been unable to do so. Every time I start a new walk it uses the 16 minute goal. What should I do?

How to reset OPEN GOAL in workout app. My Apple Watch insists on 4 miles for my outdoor walk. How do I change back to "open" goal? I hit the three little dots in the upper right corner, and then the "distance” option, (then I can scroll the distance up or down) but it just resets for that workout, then defaults to 4 miles for the next workout. This is a problem mentioned many times in this support community, but none of the answers understand the problem. Very frustrating.

In a workout, tap the circle with the 3 dots in the upper right corner to set/unset workout goals.

You may then actually have to perform a workout for the "new" goal to stick.
