Daily suggestion and training readiness

I’m trying to understand the application logic, after a race my hrv not balanced and train readiness is 1, why there is a daily suggestion to do base workout? Are those two options not depending on each other? It will make more sense if my training readiness is one daily suggestions will be rest..

what GARMIN suggest to do in that case?

It should really be HR controlled paces to be honest. For a recovery/base run, you should try to stay in or below zone 2 HR. (If you can do that at a 6:30 pace, then that is great. Most probably cannot…

I made an event that daily suggestion prepared me for it and on the event day I turn it on from Run by using PacePro option. What is SW?

SW=SoftWare. I am running version 13.14 (beta) but latest official is 11.28. With every new version comes bug fixes and sometimes also new features

The training readiness is just saying that you are not up for an intense effort. A base workout should not be intense. Rest days do not mean "do not workout." They are only for recovery level efforts. If you are not scheduling recovery into your workout schedule, you should. Recovery is almost more important than intense efforts. That is when muscle rebuilds and your body recovers. Same goes for sleep. I would agree that "base" could be changed to "recovery" as a better reflection of the suggestion for better clarification though.

In short, the unbalanced HRV and Training Readiness of 1 is not inconsistent with a base level workout. It is more likely indicative of the fact that you may not have been training long enough for the activity you just did, or weren't incorporating recovery workouts before, or that you did a REALLY intense activity that requires extra recovery.

Looks like randomly suggested workouts that not sync with all real-time health data

Really intense and still suggest 30 minutes of 06:30 pace run, not the ideal suggestion

So training readiness doesn’t mean training readiness
