How to run 1000 miles in a year
It made me 
"Running two marathons in a year will get you to this goal."
How I did it: I signed up for two marathons and trained with more or less discipline to finish them. Each marathon plan had about 400 miles of training built in. So long as I ran 200+ miles in the off season, I was OK. That was actually a huge risk, though. After being on demanding training plans, I really slacked off. My running went way down, and I very nearly didn't make it.
Be consistent all year and you will make it.
