  <name>60-min Z5 (VO2 Max) Medium #09</name>
  <description>This session is built around 5x5 minute intervals, a cornerstone of VO2 max development. These efforts are long enough to stress the aerobic system maximally, leading to significant improvements in your ceiling for power production. Consistency is key; aim to hold the power steady from the first minute to the last.</description>
