Creating running workout. Skip last rest option is missing.

How do I skip the last rest in my structured workout in Garmin Connect workout planner (Mobile or Web). The workout involves warmup, 10x800/200 and cooldown. I want to turn off the last rest before cooldown. My watch is Epix 2 pro.

Thank you, e7andy! This is the problem. The checkbox isn't there!

There was a discussion a few months ago that mentions "skip last recovery." - Can I upload custom workouts to my Garmin without using the workout creator built into Garmin Connect?

I also do not…

9702908 I'm chatting with Garmin Support at the moment. They are investigating why you and I are having this issue. They are requesting the serial number from your device. Also, your sofware version from the watch System > About.

Don't post it here, just send me a private message. hover mouse over my name, then select "Send a private message."

I saw the option in GC Web a week ago, and enabled it, but once I've started the workout on my Instinct, I've got the message that skipping the rest in the last repeat is not supported by my watch. Now, I do not see the option in Garmin Connect at all, so I suppose that unlike a week ago, Garmin lets it now visible only if you own a watch supporting this feature (possibly only Fenix 8 and Enduro 3)

I definitely saw it on garmin FR255 (my friend's watch)

I've used it on Forerunner 965, so that definitely supports it.

After a fairly extensive chat session with support, requesting many screenshots, they are still unable to replicate this on their end. They cannot yet confirm whether or not the issue is related to the Garmin devices in the Garmin Connect account. So far, at least according to this thread, there are a variety of watches that have or had this option available in Garmin Connect (Enduro 3, FR255, FR965, FR945). And they can't yet verify whether or not it is supported on the Epix (Gen 2) pro or non-pro. My support case remains open until they find out more.

You can add to the list of "good" watches FR955

I have just created workout on my Android phone, sent to watch, and mimic run. Last Recovery was skipped as expected.

BTW, this is default option when creating workout.

Epix Gen 2 here and I don't have this option neither on the website, nor the mobile app, this is very frustrating.

So, that option is probably not supported on Epix Gen 2. Then just press lap button to skip the last recover.

Thank you for the tip, will try that next time

I received an email from Garmin Product Support in reference to this case which I opened.

We're following up on the report we received that when comparing your workout options with users of other Garmin watches, you noticed that you have no "skip last recovery" option on your workouts. After reviewing this with our product designers, we learned that this was [intentionally] left out of the epix watch's list of features and was a design choice we made while building the product features set. It was decided on further review that this will not be changed. We realize that this may not be the answer you were hoping for, but wanted to make you aware.

My watch is the epix (Gen 2) non pro.
