Ok I'm 16/m I'm big on track and fitness. For Summer all I try to do for eating is lay off junk food and fatty foods. I love every fruit there is so I eat that a lot. Now depending on if you are a distance or sprinter you should do different things. Lifting weights at a local gym is VERY important even if it isn't a lot. For running you should run every day you can. 3 Times a week I would recommend long good pace runes between 3-4 miles and other days try to do faster runs or intervals of sprinting for around 2 miles. Speed should be done once a week. This is best on a track. Alternate each week between distance and sprinting if you do mid distance. For Sprinting you should do ladders of around these distances 100m 200m 300m 400m 300m 200m 100m in order at a HARD PACE. For Distance 800m 1000m 1200m 1600m 1200m 1000m 800m at a STRIDE PACE. You should rest between each run by walking the distance of the distance you just ran. Before running make sure you do a 1 or 2 lap jogging lap and same at the end. Before and after remember to strenth good. Plyometrics (eg: High Knees - Butt Kicks - Grape Vines - Lunges) Should be done after your warm up lap(s) each day as you warm up. Remember if you have any injuries to take it easy and to work your way up so these things become easier.

What I usually do is go to a local track and at high school or middle school and practice running the mile run and run for about 2 or 3 hours with breaks so you pass out and stay hydrated its very important.

Could you please edit your question and add the following info (and I will edit my reply afterwards with some suggestions):
- What track events are you going for specifically? This is important since some require stamina, others explosiveness...
- What is your current level of fitness (i.e. have you competed before, are you new at this)?
- What kind of workouts have you done in the past?
Oh and just because its blatantly wrong, potatoes and bananas have little value as far as protein is concerned.

Eat a lot of bananas and potatoes. They have a lot of protein which is necessary for you when you run. That's what they told us when I did X-C. If you're a distance runner you should run at leat 3 miles a day. Hope I helped!
