    24 houre before

    just wondered if there is certain things that are good to eat and drink the day before a race or does your body just not keep any of the goodness you eat for that long.

    You can carb load 36hrs prior to the race, complex carbs are best (brown pasta etc).

    Carbs day before/morning of race - complex or not - brown pasta suits some but tastes wrong to me; cut down on fibre over the same period - the last thing you want pre/during an event is "toilet issues". Do not let yourself be thirsty - but don't drink too much either - you will spend all night peeing. Unless you are doing something long/hot increasing salt intake is not needed. Food wise, eat what you are familiar with and enjoy - don't try anything new.
