  <name>75-min Z4 (Threshold) Easy #01</name>
  <description>This workout introduces classic threshold intervals to improve your lactate shuttle and increase your functional threshold power. By working in sustained blocks at a challenging but manageable intensity, you train your body to clear lactate more efficiently, allowing you to hold a higher power output for longer periods. Focus on maintaining a steady effort and smooth pedal stroke throughout.</description>
