Garmin Coach unusual run

Hi noticed strange workout that Garmin Coach Greg 5km proposed on week 10 out of 11.

My target race time for 5 km is 22 min (which is about 4:24 min/km pace).

App scheduled Long Easy Run workout like this:

1. Warm Up 10 min. Walk or jog.

2. Run 40 min. 4:33-4:42 min/km. Easy pace.

3. Run 10 min. 4:33-4:42 min/km. Medium to hard pace.

4. Cool Down. 10 min. Walk or jog.

This is concerning because in this workout Easy pace == Medium to hard pace. My easy pace in Garmin Coach is 5:20. 4:33-4:42 is closer to tempo run because my lactate threshold is 4:41 but even though tempo runs should last about 30-40 mins and not 50? I reckon there's a bug in algorithm somewhere? Should stage 2 be with usual 5:20 easy pace?
