  <description>Challenge your pacing and mental toughness with this descending ladder workout. As the intervals get shorter, the intensity ramps up. This structure simulates the increasing pace of a race finish, training you to produce more power even as fatigue sets in. Focus on hitting each power target precisely.</description>
