    Vegggies. A lot of them. You can eat a meal but make sure you don't feel full!

    Carbohydrates (as mentioned in other answer) 3 hours before the hike, and 1 and half hours before some fruit juice (if you have a juicer prepare it at home). Small amount of water during the hike.

    My girlfriends dad did a marathon the other week.

    He had meals high in carbohydrates (pasta, bread potatoes etc) and took a bag of jelly babies on his run for glucose.
