What You Should do The Night Before You Run a Marathon

Running a marathon is mostly about the preparation. Ideally you should be training months before race day, and have created a workout routine. Finding information on what you should be doing to train for a marathon is easy. However, lots of people wonder what they should be doing before the night of a race. Here are a few tips that answer that question.

A lot of people talk about the carbo-loading dinner before they complete a marathon. The carbo-loading dinner is essentially a dinner where you load your body with carbohydrates the dinner before the race. You should NOT do this. You should carbo-load a few days before the race, but not the night before. Your body will not process the carbs in time for the race, and you will be running with food bouncing around in your stomach. After six p.m. the night before the race, eating a full is optional, and light snacking is recommended. Don't go to bed hungry, but don't eat too much either.

Drink a lot of water or sports drinks with electrolytes in it, the night before the race. You want to drink the night before because you do not want to drink during the race. Making sure that you are hydrated in preparation for the race is key to running a comfortable marathon.

Alcohol consumption is not recommended the night before the race. The effects of alcohol will negatively impact your preparations for the race.
