Answer 1

make sure u eat healthy, stretch and do a 15 minute warm up and cool down after each hard workout. also u should do a hard workout every other day and the day after the hardworkout just go out for  a jog.

Answer 2

you started training to late in the season. to prevent this, you should be training like a month before the season starts, so you can be in shape. your body is tired and will not let you perform the best at races. it takes 3 weeks to recover. so if you work hard today it will show 2-3 from now. it's like a "bank", you are storing and have to wait a while for deposit.
