  <name>45-min Z4 (Threshold) Pushing #03</name>
  <description>This session builds threshold power by progressively increasing the intensity of each interval. This design simulates the demands of a race or hard group ride where the pace naturally increases, training you to dig deeper as you fatigue.</description>
