  <name>45-min Z2 (Endurance) Medium #06</name>
  <description>This session uses a series of stepped increases in power to build endurance and stamina. Each step takes you slightly deeper into the endurance zone, challenging your body to adapt to progressively harder, yet sustainable, efforts. It's a great way to improve aerobic power and mental toughness.</description>
