I always wanted to do sports in high school but never did because I thought I wasn't good enough for it. Then, in my senior year I decided to join anyways and I have to say it was probably the best decision I made. I wasn't fast at first, but just a few months in I shed all my excess weight and started to become exponentially faster. I didn't get tired anymore and I made a bunch of friends and met a bunch of chicks. It was awesome. Also, if you're gonna run and actually want to be a God at it (and to not look like a scrawny anorexic) you should also hit up the gym once or twice a week on the side. 50% of running is upper-body strength (for short-mid-distances)

Beginner to Bubka book should be your bible honestly. Comes with a video CD too I think. I know several coaches who carry one around and reference it regularly. It goes through everything you'd need to know in fairly simple drills and explanations.

Not only do you need to know technique but how to plan a season for the kids. I'd also recommend if you have free time to do the drills yourself. It's much easier to explain if you have done it, even poorly, before.

That and youtube and you should easily cover the basics. If need more help just PM me, I have a PR over 16' and I've been coaching PV for the last 4 years at the HS level.

one thing I did commonly to help with plantar fasciitis was to get a golf ball or a specific foot massager to help ease the muscles after a hard workout. But of course getting good shoes and arch support is the best thing you can do and try to be conscious about it when you're running and try to be more on your toes.

To put it in perspective... I can go 16 mile long runs in the 5:50s, but I can't go sub 4:30 in a mile.

So, try and get to at least 40-50 miles perk week. Buy good shows. Get new shoes every 300 miles. Log your miles on your shoes. Try to get your regular training pace below 7min. A GPS watch is amazing. Then, once you are at 40mpw, which could take a new runner a few months to get to (try and add a few miles per week), then throw in workouts like tempo runs, fartleks and intervals. You can google those and find out what they are. Want a book? http://www.amazon.com/Daniels-Running-Formula-3rd-Edition-Jack/dp/1450431836

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.

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.

I highly recommend you pick up a copy of Running with the Buffaloes -- this should easily make it into your top 5.

I've got a friend who is a dedicated triple jumper (got bronze in indoor U23 Nationals in her country) and she swears by these shoes:

I would suggest investing in the right equipment but for now, jump in your trainers as injuries aren't worth it.
