I'm debating whether or not to eat some carbs beforehand as I don't want to change my nutrition too close to the race. I'm doing the (first) Brighton marathon. It will be the second biggest in the UK after London.

Based on my experience, I would only step up the carbs for a run that length if it was over 60 degrees. Pure running voodoo, courtesy of me! Is this your first marathon? Woo hoo! What distance tri's have you done?
