Answer 4

protien

speed workouts

talk to a coach

Answer 5

Definitely. There is much room for improvement. Run at least a 3k or a 5k three or four times a week. These shorter runs will help you with pace. Then run no more than four full 10K's. Tempo runs is also important. Run your 3K at a very consistent yet faster than usual pace. Don't start weight training, not enough time, you'll only do damage.
