Intervals: Last lap does not include "Rest"

My FR 745 does not include a "Rest" on the last lap of intervals, it just goes "Workout Ended" right away.

For example, when I create a workout on the watch:
Run > Training > Intervals: Run 6x0.80km / Rest 2:30min

Lap 1: Run 800m > Rest 2:30min
Lap 2: Run 800m > Rest 2:30min
Lap 3: Run 800m > Rest 2:30min
Lap 4: Run 800m > Rest 2:30min
Lap 5: Run 800m > Rest 2:30min
Lap 6: Run 800m > Workout Ended

The worse thing about this issue is that the watch does not show the time of your (run) last lap, and also the time still keeps going untill you press stop.

This only happens when I create the intervals on the watch itself.
On the other hand, if I create a workout on the phone and send it to the watch, this problem does not occur.
Thank you,

    Hi this is by design. The reasoning behind this is a lot of runners throw their last recovery into their cool down. For example using your workout, if you did a 10 minute warm up, 6X800 the feed back we received is that most users were adding that last rest into their cool down. If you enable the cool down, at the conclusion of your final interval, it will send you to a cool down, which you can make as short or long as you would like. 

    To enable the cool down, (and warm up for that matter) on the watch, just go to run, hold the middle left button, scroll to training, then intervals, edit, scroll to the bottom, then press your top right button to enable/disable the warm up and cool down. They will both be set to lap press, so if you enable warm up, it'll have you in warm up until you hit the bottom right button in which case interval one will begin. When you jump into the cool down it will also be set to lap press meaning it won't stop the workout until you hit the top right button. 

    Of course as you mentioned in your post you can make it do exactly what you want by setting up the workout in Garmin Connect.

    Hello Brooks,

    Thank you for your kind response.
    I don't mind to have a cool down at the end, so it can act like a rest.
    However, there's still one problem remains which is when I finish the last run/lap, the watch does not show the timer of my last run/lap - it just displays "workout ended" or "cool down" right away.
    This is really bad since I always put all out effort on the last run/lap and I want to see the timer right away - not to wait and view in the summary later on.
