I would say yes, those 400 cals from Olive Oil are definitely a fuel source, and should count towards your 25% fat intake. I would say that you are in a unique situation being an endurance athlete by nature and trying to go low carb. If you aren't getting fat loss results from the current ratio (say after a month or so), then tweak that ratio up a bit. If you are going to continue to do endurance workouts, you might not want to go too low carb at the risk of losing muscle mass. So play with the protein and fat, and see what works for your body.
If you are fearful of fizzing out during a workout, split your PWO shake into 2 or even 3 smaller servings, and have 1 serving before your workout, 1 during, and 1 after. That way, you aren't really increasing caloric intake, just distributing it more wisely.
Sounds like you have it figured out though. Stick with it, and you'll be good!
