good runner foods

This is kind of related to my question about protein. I'm curious what foods most runners usually eat over the course of a day to keep the fires stoked. Some "big eaters" seem to be the eggs and bacon types, and I've heard that Steve Prefontaine was notorious for eating junk food. But most runners I know seem to eat more bagels, fruit, juice, and that kind of thing. Maybe it doesn't make too much difference as long as you're getting enough total calories.
