Yup, diet should not be overlooked in running. I belive that a healthy diet is part and parcel of healthy living and should be the main considering factor. I enjoyed the article very much and learned a few things. Diet is important not only in running but in all types of body activity whether you are playing sports or lifting. People has always thought that dieting involves starving yourself but that is not true. Have quick healthy meals each day is also dieting. You don't need to starve yourself. Just eat right and live right

Very good article, It has been my experience that diet is one of the first things that gets over looked for not only new runner but for people that are new to any physical activity. I know I struggled when i first started lifting weights and running on a regular basis and was very lucky to get a ton of help from people at my local gym.
