Here are a few tips for a pre-marathon diet:

1) Before a marathon my advice is to stick to a big piece of steak and chips. The steak is full of protein and the chips are ideal for a high-carbohydrate intake. For those people who suggest that you are overloading your stomach know nothing about training. I have been running for over 20 years and have completed endless marathons all over the world. I have steak with chips about three times a week and find it to be more beneficial for my body than the frequently recommended bowl of pasta and vegetables.

and much much more..
