This is week seven, about four to five weeks until the season begins. Keep up on your workouts, sleeping and eat well. Having junk once in a while is okay, but make it the exception. Juice instead of soda, and water and green tea are best.
Check your shoes, make sure that they are okay and consider two pairs of training shoes, a light one and a more cushioned model to trade off the days.
