Hey Scotty,
Good work so far man 17kg's huge result. Get yourself a copy of the shuttle run test and find somewhere to run it regularly. Running in general will help but better to actually run the test.

Would offer to train with you mate but just don't have time with work and won't for quite some time to come.

Good luck though man. If want any info happy for you to bounce questions my way.
Cheers!!
