Daily suggested workout - No recovery??

Hi, I started following the daily suggested workout for my run activities, but I noted that the watch never suggest to do recovery. On Monday I had an interval training suggestion, on Tuesday I had the same interval training suggestion, on Wednesday a different interval training suggestion and on Thursday I had a base run suggestion (50 min at 6:06min/km).

Is this normal? No recovery between activities suggestions?

    Give it a couple more days

    Strange, if the intervals were shorter could have been that the training load wasn't too high.  You can always check your recovery time until another strong workout during the day to predict what tomorrow is maybe going to be.  Sprints with full recovery will often leave me with a recovery time of 20-25hrs... so by the next morning I'm full charged and ready to go.  Now... not saying that's really fully true, because if the sprints were really hard (not something I do much), often I'll have little aches/pains here and there (tendons, joints, strains). Best to take it real easy the next day.  Also the base runs are treated nearly as a Recovery/Rest much of the time.

    I think it mostly gave me "Rest", "Rest", "Rest", so nice to see that others have totally different problems....

    I realized that probably the watch considered  my previous trainings as "failed". I had the sprint goal to run at 4.40 min/km, but in the latest three sprint I run at 4:50 or 4:58

    All I can say is that I've had at least once a suggested workout of "Rest Day"

    Garmin says in here https://discover.garmin.com/en-US/performance-data/running/#daily-suggested-workouts :

    "Each workout suggested is designed to provide an appropriate level of challenge while satisfying a specific need or improving a particular aspect of performance. Your current training load, load focus, recovery time, sleep data, and the profile of recently performed workouts all factor into your workout suggestions."

    You can also check here to see the type of suggested workouts and what they mean:

    For me, I am in XC season so I have my own training plan, but it always gives me base runs which I assume is due to the fact it always says I have a Low Aer. Shortage.

    Edit: After doing some really easy biking this week, my running suggested workout was a sprint workout. Once you click the run activity and the suggested workout pops up, you can hit the down button and it will give a brief explanation for the purpose of the workout, but as it says these are just suggestions.

    Thank you for the detailed explanation.

    Today after three interval trainings in a row and one endurance run, I have an active recovery suggestion (30min at 7:05min/km)

    I have exactly the same problem 5 trainings with no rest days in between. The daily workout suggested an recovery run, after that 3 days of interval trainings in a row and today an recovery training. I have gone from productive to Unproductive and it actually states detraining. Next week i will pick up my normal training it is not working out for me it seems.

    No es mi caso. A mi sí me ha hecho está sugerencia en algunas ocasiones. 

    Estoy entusiasmado con las sugerencias de entrenamiento. Yo no tengo entrenador y siempre corría sin demasiada ciencia. Ahora las sugerencias de entrenamiento me facilitan mucho las cosas.  Muy acertados para tu estado de forma. 

    La premisa es que para tener una base sólida, real y empírica para estos entrenos es llevar siempre banda pectoral de pulso.

    Can you report any updates or news? I usually follow the suggested daily run activity, but this does not correlate with the recovery suggestion. For example today I had a recovery suggestion of still 48h, but the running training suggestion was a base-run of 45mins. What to do? Wait for full recovery or run?
