I recently read a book called "Peak When it Counts" by William Freeman. It's a bit of a dense and long read, but it teaches about periodization and how to set up a program that will set up a peak when you want it to happen. Obviously it isn't magic and you won't see the results immediately, but I used it to create my program for the decathlon and all of my events have improved vastly over the past year.
I highly suggest it, and it's only like 20 bucks.

Depends on what your goals are and when you want to peak. Your body cycles, so reps and sets count. William Freeman wrote a good book on periodization that sums up the work load of a training athlete week to week. but i think if you google periodization that could help some too. Sounds like you're off to a good start.
