I usually go for a homemade veg pizza in the eve and a small bowl of porridge in the morning. Give yourself plenty of time to digest, top up with a small energy bar/bites of a banana in the hour before the race.

Pasta meal two days before because it take quite a while to absorb. Because it fuels you quicker, a rice meal the evening before, but nothing too rich or spicy. Maybe try a risotto or paella. Something that isn't too sugary the morning of and won't leave you feeling hungry shortly into the run. Porridge can be good for this.

I would usually have a curry and several beers on a Saturday night.
Cut it back to Dhal, rice & chapatti plus a bottle of a nice double Ipa or imperial stout and you'll be flying.

1st and probably last marathon on Sunday. Concerned about fueling. I would usually have a curry and several beers on a Saturday night.
I take it this is not a good idea, what should I be eating the day, night, morning before to give me the best chance of enjoying it?
