FR 955 apparent recommendations confusion

Daily suggestions is a joke. If I used it for workouts my acute load would always be low. I've gotten rest recommendations even when training readiness is prime.

It would be rather disappointing since that feature was among the top reasons I upgraded. Softwares exist namely to ease and speed up what the human can do anyway. Like integrate rapidly recovery time with acute load HRV and sleep efficiency. But when you spot such contradictions at a glance, it screws its very purpose

Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I can have daily suggestions for running saying 10x 2.30min/km for 30 seconds on the same day suggestions for cycling says slow and steady 130W for 90 minutes. Which means that either the suggestions are random, or the watch are only looking down the pipes one and one without taking the other sport into the equation. 

It tells you to focus on sleep quality, which indicate your low readiness is due to bad sleep and not recovery. You might also have a race event in your calendar, which the daily suggestions priotize. Also I  am not to sure that is a hard work out for you, without knowing more about your overall fitness and activity level.

Yes it is pretty clearly written to focus on sleep quality… and you don’t need to know anything about my shape: Garmin knows it and what he suggest is based on my VO2 max, HRV, etc. But it’s true that one possibility is that( as I was saying in the question) they both don’t refer to the same source. The suggested workout would have my primary race in mind and the training readiness would be based on my current physiological values.

Still, both could be coordinated. Like, if today would normally be time for some repetition training given my April marathon, but my training readiness is not ideal, the workout suggestion algorithm should take it into consideration and definitely not suggest a high intensity workout.

On that, I’d like Garmin to comment.

Thanks!

I understand what you are saying, but you assume that you need to be in a well rested condition, with higher training readiness, to benefit from an interval session and for it to be suggested. I don't think this is the case, unless you can direct me to some research?

When race training, depending on the point in the plan, I will almost always feel tired. That does not mean I will avoid the hard sessions, as it is the cumulative load that improves your fitness. If I waited until I has a high readiness for a hard workout, I would need a day or two off before each, followed by a day or two to recover.

Valid point that is also confirmed by some workout prescribed byGarmin Coach call tired runs 

Thanks!

The sleep widget recently told me that I slept long enough, but I spent too much time awake  So which was it? Because I either slept long enough, or I didn't. Being awake cannot be considered being asleep

Maybe it meant that your sleep wasn't continuous enough? To provide a made-up example, if the start and end time of sleep was separated by 10 hours but you had 8 15 minute awake intervals during, then you'd have 8 hours total sleep (which is enough according to the watch) but 2 hours awake time which would be too much according to the watch.
