You have spent the last few months vigorously preparing to get through the marathons. Now that you are nearing the big day, you should ensure that your body is fueled to handle the upcoming marathon. Here are a few things that you should do and others that you should avoid doing days before the marathon.
Things You Should Do a Week before Marathons

    Eat appropriately.

Be sure to eat the right proportions of the right nutrients and be extra strict in doing so the week before the marathon. For instance, you should eat the right amounts of carbohydrates, fats, fiber, proteins and other vitamins and minerals. Too much or too little could cause harm to your body and not allow it to serve you well during the marathons.

    Rest your body

Be sure that you get the right amount of rest and not to push your body too far days before the marathons. Any training that you would have done should have been done much earlier. Pushing your body so close to the big race could cause undue injury and can only hamper your chances of succeeding during the marathon. It is important that you let the muscles relax and that you get ample sleep the week before a marathon.

Things You Shouldn’t Do a Week before Marathons
There are a lot of dietary errors that people do days before their marathons. While their intentions might be good, this would cause them more discomfort and prevent them from doing well on the marathon.
Some of these errors include eating way too much fiber, stuffing up on carbohydrates days before the actual race. Other mistakes include having too much fluids days before the marathons. This could cause serious ailments that would do more than prevent you from running the marathon.  Also if you are lactose intolerant, you should stay away from dairy products that could cause you much discomfort.
Therefore, it is commendable that you made it this far while preparing for marathons. Now let us make sure that you do the right thing for your body to ensure that it helps you through the marathon and watch you succeed.
