if you have the time you could read Adharanand Finn's Running with the Kenyans. I just finished reading it and it has some pretty detailed accounts of life in an elite training camp. I'm pretty sure they all eat a kind of rice dish all the time and not too much else.

My favorite running books are Running in the Clouds (which is about trail running in England) and Running with the Kenyans. Neither is likely the kind of fiction that she prefers, but both are full of helpful tips. Both books depict regions where running is a way of life and embedded in the local culture. Both books emphasize that the key to becoming a good runner is simply the movitation to run.
There's a book called Running With the Kenyans https://www.amazon.com/Running-Kenyans-Discovering-Secrets-Fastest/dp/0345528808 that goes into a personal endeavor to figure out why this is. Good read.
