It is one we have been getting quite frequently lately. Check back on Monday for Mark's "Dear Mark" post. In it he will address the elite athlete/primal lifestyle conundrum. Great question, Brett.

I have been a triathlete for four years, and have progressed well thus far. I have also run three marathons. I follow a Paleo diet very low carb now and am doing well, suprisingly better after dropping grains and dairy. I realize that triathlon might not be optimal for health, bust most other sports aren't either. :) I wondered if the former tri guy had some advice for an endurance athlete as far carb intake during training, gels, etc., versus more natural things like honey, figs, etc. Also, recovery meals for endurance training, etc. Thanks in advance!
