Unproductive when following Garmin suggested training

I'm a bit irritated by Garmin telling me that i'm Unproductive.

Yesterday (Sunday) I got the training suggesting (running) to run for 1h at 6min/km. Exactly did this training but got a Unproductive result and -1 for VO2max. Note that my runs on Wednesday and Friday were good in terms of Garmin: Productive and +1 on VO2max on Wednesday.

My question: do you also experience this? Are the suggested trainings from Garmin unreliable?

I have this watch for 11 months.

Do you have enough points in the Anaerobic section so that you are in the optimal zone?

That's an interesting remark. For the last weeks my Anearobic level is always low. I'm open to suggestions here :)

To earn more points in the Anaerobic zone you need to do more interval workouts, such as this one: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/2606761366

Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability to perform at very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC and the type of activity. Repeated high-intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an improved anaerobic Training Effect.
