  <name>60-min Z5 (VO2 Max) Easy #05</name>
  <description>This pyramid-style session builds you up to a peak VO2 Max effort before tapering back down. This structure mimics the demands of attacking over a hill or closing a gap, improving your ability to handle sustained power. The equal work-to-rest ratio provides just enough recovery to tackle the next step of the pyramid.</description>
