Well your not going to improve a great deal in two days, but for the soreness make sure your taking in a lot of water and a lot of protein and carbs, without those three things the muscles will continue to be dreprieved and your not going to recover at a very fast rate as you've found out.

Number two... Try squats, leg press's, then try some ballistic training and plyometric training (search's available on both on site)...the question of stamina, well the only way your going to improve at that is to keep running, keep jogging...day in, day out.
