Garmin watch users: Do you use the suggested workouts? (self.running)

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?

Unfortunately my watch doesn't support this. I think they introduced it in the X45 Forerunners? Unfortunately I have a 935.

But I did use Train As One last year on the recommendation of @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone when aiming to beat my 5 k PB. It helped me get below 18 minutes for the first time. I haven't seriously used it since, but I certainly don't regret using it for the 2 or 3 months I was.

I still use TrainAsOne, and it's the reason I don't bother with the garmin workouts
