I have a 1/2 marathon on Sunday at 7am. What's your go-to meal the night before a big race?

Nothing new.
I have no go to meal the night before.
But on late start races (like 10am and after), I'll eat a bagel and drink a medium coffee from Dunks.
^I do that regardless of race length just so I don't get hungry mid-race since I typically don't eat til almost noon0 -
Eat what you've trained with. Trying something new on or before race days can end really poorly for you.
Good luck and enjoy the race!0 -
This might be TMI but I generally like to eat something spicy and a bit greasy. The logic being it will be more willing to come out "on cue" in the pre-race porto-potty...0

LOL! Well, I ended up making a huge steak. I accompanied that with a big 7-layer salad and some italian bread. Drank two Powerades and felt great. Race day was great!0
