Cross Training Questions

Diet and workouts for preparing for a marathon?

I am preparing for a marathon. I do not have a time line yet and am working on the training plan. I am in the early stages of preparing. I currently run a 5k in about 18 minutes. Ready to move on to something more intense. Any advice for diet, foods, workouts, and cross training?
