I don't know much about running, but if want to train you have to train. I would make a training program custom for your strengths/weaknesses and do it every day. As you go along keep challenging youself by upgrading your program.

Thats a hell of a lot to ask in less than 12 months!!! Like yourself I did middle distance, but i just would not want to run that far!!!

Seriously mate, do it over 2 or 3 years
