clueless on how to train, please recommend me a basic training plan for 800/mile

Arthur Lydiard base phase for 16 weeks @ 100 miles a week followed by 4 week hill phase followed by a 12 week peaking phase.

How do you/Lydiard recommend he build from 15mpw to 100mpw?

Easy here is a 12 month build up

First month 30 miles a week

Second month 45 miles a week

Third month 60 miles a week

Fourth month 75 miles a week

Fifth month 90 miles a week

Sixith month 90 miles a week

Seventh month 90 miles a week

8th month 60 miles a week

9th month 70 miles a week

10th month 80 miles a week

11th month 90 miles a week

12th month 100 miles a week

I forgot I adapted the Lydiard method to add year around:

Long run @ 90 to 95% of marathon pace

Tues 10 x 1k

Thurs fartlek

thanks for the suggestion, the fartlek and long run definitely seem valuable to add but I feel that sort of mileage build up would cripple me, I think I'd need years to build up to 100 mpw, if I could even get there!
