@Nik a mate of mine did that last year in a marathon build and run with a pack , but now has gone back to gels..

Nik how serious do you do a carb load ? Is that something you practiced beforehand?

@dinobarnesberlin cheers .. I wasn’t bothered what the time was going to be just that I made it too the end after what I experienced it was by far the most brutal thing I’ve put myself through..

If I just ran and blew up because lack of fitness I would of been disappointed , but I know I’m capable of a a sub 2:56 I’ll give it another go in December Valencia Marathon

@Dmart yeah mate honestly didn’t know what I experienced was a possible outcome, definitely wish I practiced it in the build up.
Doing Valencia marathon in December so definitely not going to make the same mistake

@goosehd I’ve been feeling good had a solid marathon build with weeks of 80 mile weeks plenty of long run MP workouts, did a 2 week taper . But the carb load got me first time doing that and according to ChatGPT i overloaded my gut so when I started running the blood has been drawn away from digestion to the working muscles because my body was under stress my HR spike within the first 3 mins to 174bpm then adding gels to the mix quickly shifted to cramps and then the stomach issues . When I eventually stopped to walk my HR was 185bpm MAX
Looking through my data I ran on that red line for 1hr 58mins crazy no wonder i felt like crap.
Feeling disappointed all that hard work I put in leading up to the marathon and for it to go like that ..

Not the day I wanted, crawled to the finish line .
Didn’t feel great from the start , legs were aching which was odd , started having doubts real early , had to stop and walk at 18miles HR was max which was crazy .
Got going again then came the cramps
A lot of walking
Got going again at 20miles then came the stomach pains , literally felt like I was going to crap myself on mile 23 at this point praying for the finish and to find a toilet .
Definitely didn’t have that on the cards today
Trained hard for a 2:56 but on the day managed a 3:16 gutted .. training was there but the carb load didn’t stick .

Feeling Nervous The count down is on!!

@nathanaeljohn Nice one pal , glad you’re happy

@brownr1 did wash it mate and sent it back to IH for professional pictures to be taken .
Looking forward to getting this beauty back and continue to wear it.. The evo has literally just begun.

Yes mate looks great

@WhiskeySandwich Nice one bud , when’s your 5k race ? What sort of training are you doing for that?
You shooting for a time ?

I just completed Cardiff half marathon on the weekend was a lot tougher then expected, putting it down to having 5 weeks training from coming back from injury, those last few miles had to dig deep lol

@Mister_Brue Yes mate it’s had two washes now and the evo is coming on nicely.
I would say the collar has definitely lightened but is still Grey.

@Anesthetist sure thing mate I’ll get a few more pictures tomorrow

@FlavourFade said in IHJ-149-IND - 10oz Selvedge Denim Blanket Lined Chore Jacket - Indigo:

@Jcaz6996 I must admit I haven't been as excited to see a faded example in a long time knowing you got this jacket now!!!

Cheers pal haven’t taken it off this week pairing it nicely with the IHSH-427-Ind

@Crispy-Heron Absolutely bud love how warm and cosy it is, perfect jacket for work and socialising plenty of pockets makes a chore jacket a must have ..

@Oaktavia i can confirm it’s a beautiful Cosy jacket , been lucky enough to get my hands on the sample but unfortunately due to a very warm summer was unable to put it to Hard use until now …. Love the colder months and this jacket has me covered .

I’ll start putting some pictures up and hopefully start seeing some beautiful evo over the coming months

@JunkPants said in Indigo Invitational Y5:

@Jcaz6996 Are you doing it this time around?
Would be a real shame if you didn't imo. Maybe this is the year when the judges reward your fading style.
(Can't believe you haven't won one of these yet, and would be a real loss if the the goat of denim fading didn't join)

Hi mate , appreciate your comment but I’m not doing it this year . Haven’t got any New denim to break out. Plus I’ve got the XHSbb I want to continue wearing when the weather gets cooler.

I’ll be following everyone’s progress on here I’m sure there will some sick fades in the coming months

@Oaktavia slowly but surely mate
by the looks of things the collar is definitely fading. I’ll get some fresh pics today

@Oaktavia looking good bud top effort

Some quick iPhone pics before it’s wash ..

@Oaktavia Thinking it is a stubborn one lol. I’ve worn it another week and I’ve had to give it its second wash , surprising how much crap comes off it just soaking it in the bath before going into the washing machine.

Don’t think the collar is fading mate , maybe just the picture or dirt .

Fresh pictures incoming when it’s dry ..
