SCMS will start in less than 2 days time, this is perhaps the time you should prepare yourself mentally and physically for the race. here are some things that i do before the marathon. you might wanna see and adapt to your preparations.
1. Carbo-loading. It is important to load enough carbo into your body for the next two days. try to take in more carbo and less fats/protein as carbo is the main energy for the body. See link for more info - http://www.runnersworld.com/nutrition-runners/fill-er?page=single
2. Hydrate! Stopping drinking achohol/soft drinks and start drinking sufficient water (H2O). this will hydrate your body for the race. always remember to drink moderately. a friend of mine told me once that we should drink 10% of your body weight.
3. Grooming.
- Go for a Haircut. there are a lot of photographers taking photos of you running your marathon. you definitely wanna looked the best in these photos.
- Trimming your nails today MIGHT prevent injuries to your nails during a 42km run, especially so if you are wearing a 'tight' fitting shoes. also try to prevent trimming your nails the day before the race, trimming them 2 days again would give you ample time to recover if you accidentally cut into your flash while trimming.
4. Sufficient Sleep for the these 2 nights. It is nearly impossible to sleep on the night before the race, especially when you need to wake up at 3am on race day to prepare for the race. Do sleep more tonight so that you do not feel so tired on the race on sunday.
