  <name>120-min Z5 (VO2 Max) Medium #09</name>
  <description>This workout uses progressive intervals to push your limits. Each 4-minute effort gets slightly harder, demanding more from you as fatigue sets in. This is a great session for learning how to pace a sustained hard effort and for building the mental fortitude to dig deep when it counts.</description>
