I'm not following it put it's interesting to see. I may do something close to the threshold workout it suggests on Wednesday assuming legs are recovered from basketball today (the short threshold effort is a good suggestion IMO) and it seems like it won't be far out from what I do given the rest of the week is easy (not planning to rest on Thursday and will add some sprints after easy on Friday)..

For instance, now I have set a half coming up in November, the middle bar of three for load focus has grown longer. The Daily Suggestion has a subtitle of the half I am aiming for, and there is also a Plan Overview at the end of the list of the week's daily suggestions, which indicates the phase of training for the upcoming race, e.g., Peak Phase 16 Oct - 3 Nov, with some explanatory text.
larkim Oct 2022 4:39pm, 17 Oct 2022 19,326 posts	0 larkim Does Garmin do those suggested workouts on all devices or is that a device specific thing (i.e. will older watches like my 645 not pick anything up)? I've never put races into the Garmin calendar before, but would be interested to track them if it did make suggestions based on up coming races and distances.
SPR Oct 2022 4:53pm, 17 Oct 2022 38,553 posts	0 SPR It's a newer watch thing. The 245 didn't have it and even some of the newer Fenix models only just got it IIRC.

I don't know of a comprehensive list, but the “lowest” I know of is the 255 according to DCRainmaker dcrainmaker.com

SPR Oct 2022 5:46pm, 17 Oct 2022 38,555 posts	0 SPR From the link Steve posted For today’s workout I’ve got a structured workout loaded, which is driven by the Daily Suggested workouts. This big change in the FR255/955 is that these workouts are now driven by races you put on your calendar. Previously, the point of Daily Suggested Workouts was basically just to keep you fit. Now, it’s building out an entire season’s worth of workouts and training phases to arrive at your race, taper included. In any event, here’s today’s workout, which is based on my particular recent abilities and training load.
