  <name>45-min Z2 (Endurance) Pushing #07</name>
  <description>The Grinder builds muscular endurance by holding a steady Z2 power at a lower-than-normal cadence. This forces greater muscle fiber recruitment, building strength that translates to climbing and sustained power efforts. This type of training is a specific application within the Coggan Power Zones framework to enhance strength without high cardiovascular stress.</description>
