eat plenty of carbs starting almost a week before the race. lower the amount of proteins and meat that you eat. eat plenty of carbs aroudnd 1-2 hours before your race. taking energy drinks that marathon runners use may be helpful but make sure you take it about an hour before the race or else if the effect fades away you will begin to feel very tired. make sure you have warmed up well and warm down after every race. make sure you stretch and do some jumps or jumping jacks before getting on the blocks to get you pumped up.

Stretches, breathing exercises, and eat lots of pasta the day before the meet, you'll build up more energy reserves that way.

nothing extra, you don't want to be exhausted before you start.
