What is the best way to go about recording a repeat session that’s not on the track? I’m going to Denmark to see my cousins, and will be measuring off my repeat distances on the road/trail.
Do I put the watch in track mode? And then where do I retrieve the data on the app?

I wouldn't do track mode as that's not what it was designed for.
The way I see it you have two main choices - create a workout with reps of a certain distance or create a workout with reps based on time. If it were me, I'd just create a workout based on time (e.g. 6 * 3 minutes, with 2 minutes recovery)and run by perceived effort. For shorter intervals, I'm not a big fan of programming the distance because I think there's too much potential for error (e.g. .09 vs. .11).
What do you mean where do you retrieve the data? Do you mean how do you see the results of your workout?
Use regular run mode, not track mode, if you’re not running on a track…
You can set up the activity screens in the app for run mode. I’d probably suggest a lap time, lap distance, lap pace, all on one screen.
And then go to the app, select the activity once completed and you’ll be presented with their post run screen.
If you’re doing repeat intervals and rest, just use the Basic Interval timer on the watch (Run, Basic Interval timer- set up).
If you’re doing different interval lengths/time and rest, set it up in the app. Here’s instructions.
Thank you all very much for the replies. It’s VERY MUCH appreciated!
I’ll either be doing 8x400 or 6x500 on the road/trail.
Is it difficult to set up something like this on my watch? How do I set up the activity screen for lap time/lap distance? Really apologise for all the questions.

1) Spend some time playing with your watch’s controls. and the Coros app. There aren’t that many options and none will cause it to self destruct.
2) Look up any number of online resources or videos or the manual that came with it for these most basic questions you are asking.
You seem like a student who’d read nothing about the assignment and posts on Piazza on the last day saying I’m totally lost and need some hints on where to start.

To setup a workout, it's very easy, just go to the Coros App and select the icon 2nd from the right (looks like a badge?) and then click workouts and then "create workout".
I haven't messed with the activity screen because I like the default setup, but I know that's easy to adjust.

Yes, how am I to see the results of the workout?
Again, I apologise. I’ve had the watch only 3 days.

You seem offended for some reason. Why would you take the time to post what you did just be an @$$hole? It makes no sense, and it helps nothing. Ask yourself why you’ve done that.
The watch was given as a gift with no manual, etc. The videos that I found did not address my specific question. Why wouldn’t I use the resource of letsrun. It is obvious from all the other replies that Ive come to the right place.

Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate the help.
1) Go to the Coros App, click on the runner icon (on the bottom, second from the left) and you will see all of your activity there
OR
2) Select the "History" option on your watch and scroll to the workout that you ran
Relatively new Coros owner here. I just learned how to do this and I love the function. Under the regular "Run" menu, below Start there is a "Basic Interval" selection. Go there and you can set up intervals based on distance or time including the prescribed rest/jog period. You have the option to include a warm up/cool down or not. This function doesn't let you do a variable interval set - meaning 400, 800, 1200, 800, 400 or whatever. It is for any number of one length/time. Still great.
