  <name>75-min Z5 (VO2 Max) Pushing #04</name>
  <description>This workout uses two blocks of high-intensity micro-intervals to maximize time spent at or near VO2 max. The short 30-second recoveries are incomplete, forcing your body to adapt to clearing lactate under stress. This is highly effective for boosting top-end fitness and race-specific power.</description>
