Spaghetti. It has plenty of 'long-term' carbohydrates that will be ready to use on tomorrow's run.
Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy for running. They are coverted by the body into glucose which is used for energy. Any carbohydrates that are not immediately used are stored in the muscles as glycogen for later use. This is why carbohydrates are important for a marathon runner as the slow energy release happens over the whole marathon and gives you the energy when you need it most in the later stages.The urge to overindulge in carbohydrates the night before the race can leave you feeling sluggish so it is better to up your carbohydrate intake during the week before a race.
Foods rich in carbohydrates are cereals, grains, bread, rice, barley, oatmeal, spaghetti, pasta, muffins, apricot, dates, blueberry, banana, fig, grapes, apple, orange, pear, pineapple, strawberry, watermelon, raisins, chickpeas, white beans, black eye peas, potato, sweet potato, carrot, sweetcorn, squash, nonfat milk, low fat, plain yogurt, chocolate milk and skimmed milk.
For the night before I would suggest a pasta dish with a cream sauce and maybe some butternut squash. Don't overdo it as you have to run the next day. Up your carbohydrates during the week before and you should be fine.

All these glycogen would be converted to glucose when he needs them in large amount during the race. The glucose converted can help him when his muscles undergo aerobic or anaerobic respiration.
Would a marathon runner be aerobic or anaerobic?
