How to correct push of Lap-button during a workout?

I am not sure what your problem is - what happened, you accidentally pressed the lap button?

Correct!

I accidentally pushed the lap button halfway through the workout.

I can only guess you mean <START/STOP> button not <LAP> button because the <LAP> button does not stop the activity and still records all the data. The <LAP> button just puts a "marker" in the data to show lap.

If you have pressed the <START/STOP> button you can edit the start and stop time in GC but it does not help you as it cannot insert the missing data, so it just adds time and "stretches" the data, if that makes sense.

While it's a bit frustrating to have Garmin Coach misinterpreting your workout, it's worth remembering that your body got the full benefit of the 15 km run. After all, the point of the run is to improve YOUR fitness, not to have a perfect set of data points.

If you are concerned about it reoccuring, you can lock the keys to prevent accidental presses. Personally, I don't think I've ever accidentally pressed a key - although I have pressed the wrong key on many occasions, but that mistake is on me, not the watch.

Nope, I did press the <LAP> button and it indeed did not stop the activity. The activity is fully recorded so no problems with that.

In this case I was following a workout created by Garmin Coach during a running activity. The workout is in the format (Warm-up 2:00 min.) - (Run 15km) - (Cooldown 2:00). During the (Run 15km) scrolling through the screens (I was also testing out Navigation to see if there were Map latency issues as reported by others) I accidently pushed the <LAP> button which ends the (Run 15km) fase and progresses the workout to the next fase, in my case (Cooldown 2:00 min).

The question I have is if there is any way to correct the accidental push of the <LAP> button during the activity/workout and in effect takes me back to the (Run 15km) fase of the workout.

I did continue my run and after the 2 min Cooldown-fase which ends the workout and the activity. You can however [Resume] the activity so as stated I'm OK, the activity was recorded just fine.

But somewhere in the fit-file the "Workout" is recorded as [Warm-up 2:00 min] - [Run 6,8 km] - [Cooldown 2:00 min]. I'm assuming that Garmin Coach just looks at this piece of the data as it is telling me "There is room for improvement" because it probably just accounts for the 6,8 km run, while the activity itself is recorded as 16,5 km.

I know it is possible to lock the keys against accidental presses, but that also prohibits the walking through the screens during a run.

You are correct, I'm totally fine with the workout and the mistake is indeed totally on me.

The question is of course if there is a possiblity to correct my mistake during the workout .

No. Unless you get hold of fitfile repair tools or someone steps up and offers to see if it can be fixes.

You can also disable just the Lap key, so if you don’t need it for your workout it dodges the problem. Nothing to be done about the current one, unfortunately.

What I've done on my Fenix 5+ is this: I've disabled the lap key from the activity settings (Lap key: off), but then assigned it as a hotkey when the back/lap key is long-pressed (System, Hot Keys, Hold BACK: Lap). That way I can use the lap key, but avoid accidental presses.

Thanks! next run going to try his one!

As always, the most important is the work you put in yourself, but love the way this hack could actualy help prevent the little irritation of a virtual coach telling you "there is room for improvement" while you know you put in the work.

Thanx!!
