Could you tell about marathoner’s diet plan before a competition (during training for a marathon and just before a marathon race)?

What to eat and what's the right way to eat before a marathon?

What period, in your opinion, is required for physiological adaptation to low heart rate training loads (slow running for building an adequate aerobic base) and whether or not faster sessions, strength exercises, bodyweight moves or gym exercises (physical fitness/ running-specific exercises) should be included during this period? Beginners and/or runners after a break/sickness can be used as an example.

Thank you!
