Yes, having a good supply of QUALITY CARBOHYDRATES in your body is a must for anyone who runs regularly.
You'll probably want to get Nathan Pritikin's Diet For Runners (you can pick it up for cheap used at Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846). It's a little outdated (he thinks all, and I mean all, fats and oils should be avoided), so don't take everything in the book as law. However, it remains and excellent source on nutrition for runners. I highly reccomend it.
