  <name>45-min Z5 (VO2 Max) Medium #06</name>
  <description>A pyramid structure targets your VO2 max system with varied durations. The central, longest interval provides a strong aerobic stimulus, while the shorter intervals on either side work on your power and speed. This combination creates a well-rounded session that improves your capacity across different types of hard efforts.</description>
