Tempo / Threshold Session

A 'comfortably hard' continuous effort at threshold (RPE 7) bookended by easy work. Requires an aerobic base first. Default 45 min; adjust the tempo block length to fitness.

Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
