  <name>75-min Z5 (VO2 Max) Medium #06</name>
  <description>Push your limits with these step-up intervals, where each successive effort gets slightly harder. This workout trains your body to dig deeper as you fatigue, improving both your physical and mental resilience. It's an effective way to simulate the increasing difficulty of a final climb or a finishing effort.</description>
