Your marathon training should draw to an end about one week before the race. Your final preparations in the days leading up to the big event should involve eating and sleeping well, replenishing your energy and gaining complete rest. Do your best to avoid vigorous exercise so as to limit over exhaustion on race day.

Furthermore, it is suggested that you start adjusting your biological clock by going to bed and getting up early. This ensures that you can rise early and feel relaxed for the race as it will be part of your routine. For quality sleep, supplement your body with vitamin B, which can ease the tension in nerves and muscles which helps to maintain mental strength.
