Long Runs, What to eat the night before?

[Rod]

I normally run in the morning when I get up, for those long runs (10-15 miles), what should I be eating the night before? Rod

Carbs. Aerobic burns carbs and fat. I'd also be drinking a couple gallons of water all day/night long. I'd also cringe at the thought of 10-15 miles though! I get one heck of a work-out from 3-5.

I normally ran 3-5 miles but my daughter talked me into running the Detroit marathon in October so I've had to increase my mileage. I have a couple of 20 milers to run in Sept to get ready for the race.

Wow... 20 miles... I don't even like driving that far!

Good luck with the marathon. (makes me think I should enter myself in... anything... just to make myself work harder)
