It's the day for thresholds! I've been invited to do 27min at 8.10mm pace. That's not threshold, it's 5k race pace downhill with a following wind at the moment.

And otherwise, my body battery went up to 98%, my HRV was substandard, and it's snowing.

I'm getting told off for the long run yesterday and not sleeping enough. Garmin didn't like it that I watched the NFL playoffs. So body battery is only at 70. Suggested run is rest, I'll be a good girl and only run with the beginners tonight. Usually, that doesn't even give me a VO2 max rating because it's too low in intensity.
Regarding the ridiculous paces that you get, Velociraptor and Ness, I'm wondering how Garmin calculates those? I've got my suggestions in HR zones so I get reasonable intensity for each session but usually the suggestion is too long for current training status. Except the easy runs, they are alright.
Before I switched to HR, the default setting was pace and that was usually too fast for everything, too.

I'm not sure, tipsku. I'm thinking it's the progression the algorithm puts in. So, for example, I set a target for the number of steps I do per day. I set this when I got my new Garmin over a year ago, I think. I initially set it to 10,000 steps a day. Garmin Connect has adjusted it over time. I only noticed the other day. It's now on... 25,760

When it comes to duration, that's probably right. It looks at the overall distribution and then asks you to do what it thinks you're missing. Because I don't do a lot of high aerobic exercise, I get crazy long sessions.
But the pace is probably based on the VO2 max estimate. If I enter mine in a calculator website like vdot, I get impossible race times. Like a sub 40 10k. Then the suggested threshold pace makes sense.

I do fewer steps on Mondays. Probably because of my recent long runs are on Sundays.

That makes sense, Surrey Phil. Whereas Sunday is my rest day usually and long runs are on Saturday.

HRV status - unbalanced - better than the ‘low’ it has been
Training status - maintaining , high aerobic shortage
(I rarely get anything other than maintaining or recovery, unless it choses to randomly put ‘strained’ in )
Suggest workout? Missed checking today, tomorrow is 108 minute ‘long run’ - which may well be my choice for the day.
Told me off for not going to bed early enough - as per.

I'm so inert that my Garmin doesn't realise I haven't gone to bed.

I haven't had that in a while but it has happened a couple of times when I was studying at my desk and didn't move for a while. Then Garmin thought I had fallen asleep and when I actually went to bed, it registered that as a brief interruption.
I guess that's how people get really long sleep times. When I check my insights, it tells me that with an average sleep time of around 8 hours, I'm in the bottom 16% of my age and gender. About 50% of them appear to be between 8:15-9:15 and another 25% log 9:30-10:30 hours of sleep.
