For a former pro endurance athlete, you don't much about exercise physiology. It may take 5 years to develop your metabolic fitness to its full potential, but vo2 max is much less trainable and peaks a lot easier. For most people 6 months is enough to get fairly close and any gains that come after that will be increasingly small. If after 6 months of training your vo2 max is only 50ml/kg, then you don't have a shot in hell. And if you think otherwise, you need to see Pcad for counseling, cause you're severely delusional.
Edit: this is assuming that you're already at near ideal weight.
