… The cliff notes are, normal food - nothing special…

This. My sense is that elite athletes pretty much enywhere basically just eat “clean” versions of their cultural diet. There isn’t any magical diet that will make you fast.

Any cookies in there?

And???

Should we all eat herring and boiled potatoes? Or should we follow the Kenyans and eat maize and sugar all day?

The trend the last years have been eat like a cave man, do not eat carbohydrates

Are you confusing “pop culture diets” with “endurance athlete diets?” I’ve heard of no credible trend to not eat carbohydrates or lactose as a method of improving performance.

Yes, it is usually not complicated.

Mackerel in tomato sauce is absolutely a culture food item unique to Norway.

What a lot of rubbish.

Everyone knows dairy and gluten will kill you. And carbs. And “processed” food. And GMO food.

I personally only eat organic chia seeds and survive on the warm glow of my superior diet choices.

No cake???

That might explain why I’m a crap XC skier…

Whatever, I don’t even eat. I just sit in a bathtub filled with a homeopathic glucose solution and take in my calorie by osmosis.
