I've found Pop Tarts to be my go to pre long run /race breakfast. 36g of carbs, virtually no fiber, easily digestible. I can stomach 2 an hour before with a coffee and pint of water with 2 electrolyte tablets. Then I'll take a gel every 30 mins and sup water throughout. You don't need the gel every 30 mins on the slow long run but you do in a marathon so I'm training my gut as much as I'm training the rest of me!
During the week I'll have half a banana before the run and take a sup of water from a fountain along the route. If I have a session that runs over an hour I'll take a gel half way.
