OK let’s get down to it. There are basically good and bad practices when preparing for a marathon.
To successfully run and complete a marathon, here are things to avoid. Don’t eat the wrong food before you race, like a MacDonald’s for instance. Stay clear of anything new, your stomach needs to be in good working order. Eat the wrong food and you could get “runner trots”. Try to eat a healthy pre-race meal before you set off.
One of the biggest mistakes many runners make before running a marathon, is wearing something new. This is a no-no, especially when it comes to running shoes.
