I recommend a lot of Mexican food and beer, and don't wear shoes. No seriously:

Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

I am also training for this marathon. I recommend checking with runners world magazine. As a general rule i try to limit the majority of my carb intake to breakfast and lunch. http://www.runnersworld.com/channel/0,,s6-242-0-0-0,00.html
