    It's hard to imagine your coach not being concerned and talking to you about this. Missing intervals, times not improving, etc. should be things that a coach would pick up on and work to correct. Sounds to me like you are overworking your body and not giving yourself enough rest. My suggestion would be to talk to your coach about this. Something has to change.
