We just returned from a trip to Central Europe that included a train ride from Budapest to Athens, Greece.
The total journey takes about 28-30 hrs. The official schedule shows 28 hrs but the trains in those part of the world are always late (ours was over 3 hrs late reaching Thessaloniki).
The trains travels through 4 countries (Hungary, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece). Out of these 4, Serbia and Mecedonia are not part of EU so passport control is needed.
The train from Budapest to Belgrade leaves at 1 pm and reaches Belgrade around 8:30pm. You don't need reservations but it does get full. The 2nd class coaches are a bit run down from their EU counterparts. There is no fan or a/c in the compartments and the seats are a bit worn. There is a restaurant car on the train but we didn't use it. Instead, carry some food with you from Budapest since this can be a long trip. It does get hot in the summer so dress accordingly.
The train stops at each border twice (before and after crossing). At each point, there is a passport/visa check. It can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes each!. Beware, that if you don't have USA/EU passport, then you will need a visa to enter Serbia & Mecedonia (even though you are only passing thru). My friend didn't have the Serbian visa and he was asked to get down at border (Sabotica crossing) and sent back to Budapest.!!.
You will have to change the train at Belgrade. This is a night train so I highly recommend having a reservation in the couchette coach. These are sleeper seat. They are kind a small (each compartment sleeps 3 people). They provide sheets, pillow and blanket. Again, there is no a/c or fan in the car. The train reaches Thessaloniki, Greece in the afternoon. If you are lucky, you will make the connection with the ZUG intercity train going to Athens. If not, then you will have to wait in Thessaloniki for 3-4 hrs to get a connection. You can also fly from Thessaloniki to Athens for about 100 euros.

When you are renting cars in Budapest you can do short day trips with them but you can also do long trips you would just need to notify the car place in which you are renting from of your plans.
That depends on your speed.
It would depend on how long the journey was.
If I were to be a runner I would train by running everyday and exercising regularly. I would jog long distances and work my way up to running long distances.
