I know its just a joke, but when you're 70 years old, 135bpm is not zone 2 heart rate--he was probably trying just as hard as you were

It actually wasn't a joke, haha. I completely forgot HR is tied to age. 🙈

Benji, keep it up. You have now found out that staying off the bike hurts when you get back!! Even if you have to wake up at 4:30 and do 30 min consistently at Z2. Love that you are looking so much healthier than when you started!!

Great work, good to see you getting back into the efforts! Don't let your pass progress slip, commit to the process!

Good to see you are back Benji. Do what you can to stay consistent.

Maybe I'll join the Virtuslo rides so you can have another Cat D senior citizen to whoop up on. 😉 If I do those rides it will definitely be Zone 2. Probably take me over two hours to finish each one. Good job on your races.

Awesome effort Benji. You picked some really tough routes with some hard climbs! 💪💪💪

Keep going ! Gongrats for this amazing motivation !!!

I race cat B and sometimes will do 3 races back to back, or with a break in between them. Great training and by the 3rd race the legs are screaming lol. Great stuff Benji!!

Man your content is really top notch, I enjoy every second of it! Remember endurance sports are all about continuity and if you stick to it you'll make insane progresses and have some of the most intense and best moments of your life!!! So don't let your inner laziness overcome you and don't overdo it either, I'd be upset if I had to miss these videos. Greetings Bro, keep it up!

I really enjoy watching your racing...i think it was definitely a good idea and you should keep it up!

Dude, you have my same Zwift race addiction! Keep pushing!

Well done Benji. Keep hammering

Great job, Benji, 5 races isn't easy! For that last race you might also got dropped so hard because some were on gravelbikes, that course suits a gravelbike a bit more, you might need to push a bit more on the tarmac, but as the gravel climb is the deciding factor you want to have a benefit on there.

Damn, I completely forgot gravel bikes existed on Zwift. 😂

You do altitude camp to win cat D zwift race, that’s real passion 😁

Well done Benji - I feel your pain in the last race chasing that dude. Ive signed up 🙌

Lol at the background music when you get dropped in the last race. Good effort.

Congrats benji

5 races is insane, make sure to hydrate and rest well

Dude was shaking at 7:20 loll dammmnnnn #Stayhard keep pushing

My man can really suffer on the bike! Way to go dude

Benji vs the Senior Crowd. I'll bring popcorn for that.

Im parac3 on race number 3 xD good to help you 😊

This is extremely random and potentially very American of me, but when Benji posts videos like this, I always hear the song Zombie Nation in my head when he crosses the finish line. Except the words are changed from "zombie nation" to "Benji Naesen." ...I don't know if this is a thing outside the US, but here that song gets played a lot at big sports games when someone scores a goal.

what a weird way to race. kind of want to try it ;)

Really enjoying this series and it’s great to see the progress you’ve made. Starting to imagine you getting super fast and doing cool side by side rides/interviews, if not with pros then maybe some ex-pros!

Oh man, do I know that feeling as soon as the elevation rises. Cheers

It seems like you don't use a fan? If not, get one. It's a huge change. I recommend the Vacmaster Cardio

Don’t worry, I have a fan.

Where do you get those race course profiles

I reckon bump yourself into C grade and race the flatter courses. No hills. You'd do ok there I reckon and will probably surprise yourself.

Benji, do you have any breathing cronic problem? It reallt doesnt sound ok! Hope it's all good. Cheers

90% sure its because acid reflux + deviated septum but will eventually have it checked again. Belgian doctor didn’t help me very much, haha.

Are you eating/fueling at all? That's going to make a monumental difference in your training and especially on days like this.

Do you have that zwift click? If you don’t have that can you still shift?

In this video, I used the ZwiftHub Classic. I do have a Zwift Cog upgrade kit to change the Classic I have to a ZwiftHub One, which includes a Zwift Click, but I haven't had the time to change that yet.

how do you view people's heart rates and wattage?

Genuine question.... 0:58 how is this Cat D, my stats are all lower and I'm Cat C minimum

@BenjiNaesenTV

It’s because I weight 110 KGs so in terms of watts per kg you would destroy me.

If it fits your schedule, I wholeheartedly invite you to my Epic Racing events on Friday 3:20 PM Pacific and Sunday 9:45 AM Pacific.

We don’t allow power ups and our races are category enforced and hardware enforced.

Question is - will you be back to defend your victory at the Mickey Mouse Classic in 2024 🤔

The way you breath during hard efforts is not good. You also need to lose fat. I don’t think with your level of fitness going this hard is good for your health

no one ride category D. Get fitter at least to be C rider
