  <name>75-min Z4 (Threshold) Pushing #05</name>
  <description>Simulate the demands of racing with criss-cross threshold intervals. This workout involves holding a steady threshold pace while throwing in repeated short, hard surges. This challenges your ability to recover from hard efforts without letting up, a key skill for staying with the pack or making a breakaway stick.</description>
