  <name>75-min Z5 (VO2 Max) Pushing #02</name>
  <description>This session challenges your VO2 max system with a set of descending intervals that increase in intensity as they shorten. This structure trains your ability to handle rising lactate levels and push hard even when fatigued. It's a great workout for improving your finishing kick and breakaway power.</description>
