Totally wrong. The typical marathon runner (one that "runs" the event for time) is very health conscious. My diet, which is typical of all my running friends as well as all the traditional source of training advice, consists of very little lean meat, many fruits and fresh vegetables, and whole grain pasta.
Take a look at online sources of training diets for runners. I don't see where you got that idea.
