What do you do the night before a race? 🌙 "I carbo load before a race. Good carbs are things like sweet potato, whole wheat pasta, brown rice etc. I have quite a big pasta the night before with a bit of protein too, usually in the form of chicken or tuna, with not too much sauce to avoid tummy issues on race day. I love spicy food, so my meal the night before races is always quite bland to me." - Coach Nick Bester #racetips #marathonrunningtips #runningtips

To those starting out as marathon runners, what advice would you give them? 🏃 "Firstly, enjoy the process! Secondly, never underestimate just how tough that last 10kms is going to be. In my first marathon I definitely underestimated just how tough that last bit would be. It’s always tough. As long as you’re prepared for it then you’ll be able to handle it. I know marathons can be scary, but enjoy every second! There is nothing quite like finishing your first one! No better feeling in the world!" - Coach Nick Bester Learn more about our coach Nick on our website: https://www.africamarathons.com/coach/
