Running books you would reccomend

Daniels' Running Formula is a good place to start.

Find a human being that you can talk to, even if it's someone on here. Reading helps; certainly, but it is real nice to have someone to discuss the why's and how's and such. Not everything makes sense reading wise if you haven't done it already. What state are you from? I hate seeing kids in this situation, if I know somebody around your area I'll do my best to connect you guys. If nothing else, ask a sh** ton of questions on here after you've read some stuff.

allen lawrence the self coached runner series of 3 books are excellent. i highly recommend them.

I second the Allen Lawrence book for the shorter distances.

The Jack Daniels book is the "bible" of modern coaching but IMO the training is geared towards getting good "lab values" (VO2max, blood lactate) and falls short on developing top end speed for a good kick. Again that's because "top end speed" isn't a "lab measurable". It doesn't have any workouts where the reps are shorter than 200 meters even for 800 meter training. On the other hand VO2 max is a lab measurable, so Daniels recommends 6x1000 interval sessions even for 800 runners because in the lab he got the most improvement with this type of workout.

The Allen Lawrence book does have workouts that incorporate running repeat 100's even for milers and speed/sharpening sessions where you run close to "flat out" for the rep with full recovery. My main critique is that the recommended pace for the recovery runs are a bit fast. So I would ignore that and run as slow as you need to in order to feel fresh the next day.
