Then I saw Ultramarathon Man and I was so taken with him and his attitude. I thought he was such a great guy. I am nowhere near running an ultra (just zoning in on my first marathon - longest run 17 miles so far), but I really admire those guys, including posters here. Someday I will run an ultra somewhere.

Yeah I knew you were referring to Cordain's book. I was aware of the rather non-paleo foods he touts in Paleo-for-Athletes, and just never wanted to read it
I'm also very skeptical of his stance on the following issues:
- Saturated fat is "bad"
- You should eat lean meats only
- Throw away egg yolks
- Use canola oil
- Eat lots of fruit (Loaded with fructose)
But I like his take on proper sodium/potassium balance, as well as magnesium intake.
