Why do Garmin coach intervals not have a recovery on the last interval?

If you get an interval session suggested on Garmin coach it never adds the rest/recovery to the final interval.

If you look at the breakdown in the garmin Connect app, it's there as your effort/recovery x however many times. But on the watch, it just looks like a mirrored workout.

If I've worked hard on that last effort, I don't want to be berated by my watch for going to slowly when I should be recovering.

That is how it is designed. After the last run you go into cooldown and don't need any more recovery since you are not doing any more intervals.

When you design your own workouts you can select if you want to skip the recovery after the last interval.

But that isn’t how it’s designed as you can clearly see from the connect breakdown. There should be a recovery after every effort. Those two images are the same workout.

if you do one of the coaches programmes, you’ll get a recovery after your efforts, this is something particular to the Garmin coach programme.

I’m aware I can design my own, and if I designed the one there in connect, it would have a recovery after the last effort.

The workout in the image doesn't say if last recovery should be skipped or not. If you create your own workout it will say if skip is on or off.
