I have no doubt, that you can run marathons on a low carb diet. I've been on a low carb diet for 1 1/2 year and I don't think, that my endurance has decreased.
There's also a very good scientific paper about ketogenic diets and physical performance:

The problem is, most people won't believe in the superiority of low carb diets, as long as all professional athlets follow a high carb diet.
It's really strange, that nobody can tell just a single name of a professional athlet following a low carb diet. As far as I know, Lance Armstrong was not on a low carb diet, he was probably just better doped than the others :-)
