Garmin watch users: Do you use the suggested workouts? (feddit.uk)

I've had my watch about 6 weeks now and I've just started to try to recommend workouts to see if they make any difference.

Just wondering if people use the suggested workouts or whether they're just a bit rubbish? How do I know if the suggestions are accurate for what I need?

I find HR hard to use for harder training such as threshold or intervals, because of the buildup effect. I usually use pace instead.

It's possible to use power when you create your own workouts, which could be good since it uses GAP. Haven't seen any way to get that in recommended trakning. I still prefer to run on pace.
