HRV stats are low but daily workout suggestion looks brutal?

This fits with how I feel after struggling with heat and shortness of breath on recent runs.

But the suggested workout looks brutal - 7 x 1m intervals at 30s per mile quicker than I did last time I did some intervals.

Other times my stats have looked really strong and it just suggests a 40 minute base run?

I know I don't need to them but they seem completely wrong?

The suggested workouts do appear to be totally unrelated to HRV status.

Some appear totally impossible, eg. sprint for 10 seconds at 3:00/km. There's no way most people can accelerate up to that sort of speed from a light jog and have the watch register it correctly.

yeah - for me it is simply max out for 10s.
