  <name>75-min Z5 (VO2 Max) Easy #05</name>
  <description>This workout uses a 'stepping up' protocol to challenge your aerobic system. The first set of intervals is at the low end of VO2max, preparing you for a second, more intense set. This helps train your body to produce power even as fatigue begins to set in.</description>
