I am running my first 15K this Sunday. What suggestions do you have is the best thing to eat the week of?

I would not eat any differently than you usually do, as 9 miles isn't too far of a run. Definitely don't eat any new foods the morning of. Eat your normal breakfast if you have time ... banana, peanut butter, toast.0

Eat exactly how you usually eat. Don't try anything new in the week/days/hours leading up to a race.0

One step further. If you typically don't eat just before you run, do not do it before your 15K. I learned that the hard way when racing road bikes.0
