Auto stop after workout complete

Should be easy. Alternatively why doesn't the timer stop when the workout has ended? That would seem the logical operation.

Personally, I don't want the timer to stop when a workout has ended.  Most of my workouts are on the road and I don't always end my run when the workout is finished.  I like that the run is tracked until I choose to end it.  If one forgets to stop the timer at the end of the workout, it can easily be cropped in GC after the fact.  

Then the workout is not complete. Adding one more step in the workout to allow for the extra running is easy and all automated. It's not possible to end a workout using the current step options.

So what you require is possible what I and others would like is not.

You can't edit a Garmin Coach workout for example.  So yes, you can complete a workout as programmed or provided, but still not complete your run.  I often end my workout up to a mile away from my house.  I prefer that I track the portion after the completion of the workout to when I finish running at my driveway.  Obviously others don't.  This request/argument has been made several times across Garmin's watch family.  Some want an auto-stop, some don't.  Maybe an option for the user to decide would be best.

I take your point and I do agree. A user option is always the best answer and it must be possible with a minor change to the software. 

I do also agree, I'd personnaly prefer not to auto-stop (or make it an option to make everybody happy). Moreover, the current behaviour is somehow inconsistent : a Garmin Coach workout will auto-stop while a suggested workout won't. 

I would also like to have the option for the training to end automatically, it doesn't make sense to set up a training with a defined duration and the training ends and continue counting. On the garmin 235 it was the default behavior, I don't know why they changed. It's what I miss most about the garmin 245.

Please make this happen Garmin.

It was standard in the first series of Garmin. Don't know why they have removed it. At least they could have made it a user option. Many of my runs i participate in time trials where it is important to have a clean run and it just annoys me to see that my 5K race is 5020.
