Can't understand F5x recommended hours and effort intensity

Hi Guys,

Now that I'm training indoor 5 days a week using a smart trainer (power) I'm having trouble in understanding Garmin´s recommendation.

Yesterday after a climb training Garmin's asked me : 44 hours with an Easy Effort workout. That would be than on Thursday, right?

Today, Wednesday I did a 45 min recovery ride and Garmin asked me : 17 hours and a Normal Training. That would be also on Thursday but not an easy one, a normal one...

Was Garmin wrong in the first recommendation?

Was the recovery ride so efficient that changed so radically?

I don't get it.

Appreciate your comments.

Regards,

I interpret it the following:

In the next 44 hours do just easy training. Neither normal nor hard training.

In the next 17 hours you can train with normal or easy intensity but you should avoid hard training.
