So what does it take to work your way from 5k to 22 k? Do you need a good solid of year of running under your belt to do those kind of distances or can you do that in one season?

As long as you do it right, sure you can. You'd want to ramp up slowly, but most half marathon and other distance training plans are over 10-16 weeks. This plan, for example, is 12 weeks and assumes only that you can run 3 miles (about 5k):

12 weeks from now would be sometime around September, there are plenty of fall events you could look forward to, or you could choose a shorter distance like the 10k if you're not comfortable training for a half marathon this season.
