  <name>75-min Z4 (Threshold) Easy #06</name>
  <description>This workout features 'step-up' intervals, where each successive threshold block is performed at a slightly higher power. This progressive overload teaches your body to handle increasing distress and is a great way to build confidence at threshold. It's a mental and physical challenge that simulates pushing harder towards the end of a race or climb.</description>
