I don't think there are any 1 year training plans! That's a looong time out to start training! Depending on your current fitness, perhaps pick a 10k plan, then immediately after pick a 1/2 mara plan, then after that, try an intermediate 1/2 plan, then go for the full. In the meantime, do as many 10k and half marathon races as you can to get used to racing and improve your times.
Get your plans and put them in a training diary/calender/excel spreadsheet. Don't feel you have to stick to it religiously - listen to your body and use the plans as guides.
Lots of good training plans out there. I personally like the Hal Higdon ones because they don't involve too many days of running (therefore less chance of injury). I don't stick to plans though because I always seem to get injured.
www.coolrunning.com.au has links to the most popular plans. There's a US coolrunning site too but I think that has changed and gone bad. I have a feeling they make you pay for training plans there now, can't remember...
