Let’s talk about No Place Like Home, specially HR during the first three interval “builds”, which I have circled in green in the photo. During the first build, my HR gets to the upper Zone 2 range but still a ways from Zone 3. During the second build, my HR gets to the low Zone 3 but far away from Zone 4. During the third and final build, my HR gets to the upper range of Zone 3 and begins to tickle Zone 4 which is due to the higher power progression and 100+rpm progression throughout the interval. After those three intervals, my HR doesn’t get close to Zone 4 until the last sprint. I know HR values are specific to each individual but are the zones that I experience in those first three progressive intervals about on par for everyone else who had done NPLH? Just curious what everyone’s else’s take is on it. ![IMG_4911](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/2/f/2f59ed808f11e7a3db0bfb53c7cf4321a9c73fdc.jpeg) ![IMG_4913](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/f/0/f0acf094c87842191da9fb25992fe48ce0bbc787.png) ---

Looking back at the two times I’ve done that particular workout, my results are similar; I would barely reach into Zone four hr, on the third ramp, and each interval after I would just about barely touch it again. Interestingly, the first time I did it (4-20-24), my peak and average HR was lower than last September, even though FTP setting was a good 20w higher. 4-20-34 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/b/a/bace7ff7d254c3d98b492addbf0fa74e24fc10c5.png) 9-18-24 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/8/2/82ed842808f366c906ef714e6de3f70b188c6a63.png) Much after that when I do a Sufferefest workout I would turn off HR display, since half the time it drops out anyways, and I get too focused on it matching the target zone, to the detriment of my power. ---

I have done No Place Like Home four times, and that is my general experience. ---

Same here. HR raises throughout the builds but doesn’t get as high in any of the remaining intervals (which are just too short to get to a higher HR). ---

Rep 1 - just getting into Zone 3; Rep 2 - Zone 4 - Rep 3 - top end Zone 4; The last 4 reps aren’t long enough for the HR to reflect the effort but go low end zone 4, low end zone 4; top end 2; top end 2. ---

I notice this consistently as well. My HR is usually about 10rpm below required for a long time. This might be due to my low FTP but high VO2Max however. Are you in a similar situation? Note: im trying to train and raise my FTP, but the app classified me as a attacker with high AC and MAP and very low FTP. ---

Just made my return to suffering after an end of season two week break to couchlandria. Could only be one workout, and it didn’t disappoint, this is such a good video, tunes are awesome, footage is great. Love the bit with the Dutch riders on the beach. It did exactly what it promises and I now feel fired up and ready to throw myself into training. There really is no place like home. IWBMATTKYT ---

I am back from an even longer absence. Have never done it. Will be my first as soon as i get my indoor set-up set up. ---

It’s one of my favorites. Never fails to get me pumped up. I won’t spoil the fun for you 🙂 ![IMG_5109](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/d/0/d0f2574e1e5b666a4db0bb4c7bf5f7da61617e92.jpeg) ---

Was also my first workout back, always used to be Recharger but I guess it visited Couchlandria as well for a few months. ---

Had my debut with No Place Like Home last night. What a masterpiece compilation of footage, music and (SUF-)humor! I’m blown away! More of this please! Just…. I could have suffered more. But that’s on me, will set it at 125% next time. ---

It’s not meant for you to suffer that much. It’s more of a Recharger type ride for when you’ve spent too much time in Couchlandria. More of a reintroduction. That being said, it’s is definitely a fantastic workout. A honorific culmination of all the Sufferfest videos that have come before. And if you feel you want to ride it at 125% then I’m sure GvA would toast you with a glass of real pagne. ![IMG_5126](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/f/d/fd5ca9b6dde4080c3ab0b44c10d4e217aaf077c8.gif)
