Hi everyone, just curious about nutrition the morning of a marathon. I know, don’t try anything new. Just interested in seeing what you personally eat/drink the morning of a marathon? Thanks!

sorta related (cycling):
2 slices of cinnamon raisin toast with peanut butter about 3-4 hours pre-race. Drink just water up until race time.
A big hunk of home-baked oatmeal whole wheat bread with honey and a cup of coffee. Enough water to feel not thirsty but not waterlogged.
Sourdough bread and honey with butter. Coffee with cream and honey.
Somewhat related - centipedes. This is a sport- it seems like a joke.
Whatever I think I want to eat! Gosh!
Waffles and a banana
Oatmeal with fresh blueberries, a bagel with almond butter and tart cherry jam, and a coffee with soy milk.
Bagel, toast, pbj, coffee
Two blueberry donuts.
Threw one of them back up AFTER the race.
I would think that how many hours to eat something is related to this answer.
For me that would be 4 hours. I remember that I ate an entire small deep dish pizza the night
before a 1500. I felt very heavy the next day. For me that was definitely not a good idea.
I always had a donut and a cup of tea about two hours before. But that was when races started at 10:00-12:00. With the early starting times now I probably wouldn't eat anything.
If I'm awake 3-4 hours before the start: Two pieces of toast with jam, plus Gatorade. Down a gel 30 minutes before the start.
Nothing other than coffee. Maybe a bit more sugar in it than normal.

Easily digestible carbs that I'm used to eating. Avoid whole grains or high fiber i.e., oats, granola, and the like in order to avoid bowel issues during the marathon.
~4.5 hours before: banana(s), although relatively high in fiber, are easy and quick for me to digest, and a carb drink have always worked well without stomach or bowel issues. Coffee ~ an hour before race, just like when training, plus, water up until an hour before then I stop if pee is clear and frequent.
Large snickers bar and two gels.
Oatmeal with banana and peanut butter.
