I would definitely go with Interval Training.In particular look up Tabata Training  - Its a more intense form of interval training involving 8 intervals of 20 secs on (all out max effort) 10 secs off (recovery) for 4 mins total - very tough when done properly and great for the lungs. Maybe start with regular intervals to ensure your up to the task but then add 1 or 2 tabata protocols per week to the training your already doing. I tend to do a 5 min warm up and down either side of the tababa but it works great.

try running each dayconsistently slowly working your way to longer distances. While you are running, concentrate on your breathing in and out. also drink water throught the day dont just gulp it right before hope this helps sweet your a bengal fan my whole family is from cincinatti
