  <name>90-min Z4 (Threshold) Medium #07</name>
  <description>This workout teaches negative splitting and pacing under fatigue. Each of the three main blocks progressively increases in intensity, forcing you to push harder as you get tired. This is a great way to simulate finishing a race strong.</description>
