We are aiming for around 10-12g per kg of body weight for carbohydrate intake so we need to focus on higher carbohydrate based meals that are easy to digest as well as liquid carbs to achieve this, as an example if you are around 80kg you are aiming for around 800g carbohydrates in the days leading up to the marathon especially the day before3. Reducing protein and fat, and fibre intake day before to prioritise carbohydrate intake.
