Yes, I learned a lot since February when I started running for real. When I was younger I trained orienteering, and then had a 4 year pause, which looking from this point of view was a big mistake. So, about this programs, I'm really don't wanna rush and explode in 3 months, and it's the main reason why I'm here. To hear some professional advices, and follow the program which is adapted to my current shape, which will take me to higher level slowly and safe, as you said. Btw, I'm 20 years old, so I think there is no reason to hurry. 
and few more questions...
How should I end this week? Should I take a rest, end it as my usuall week, or maybe end it like a third week from you program? Yeseterday I've done 60min easy with 15 min fartlek in the middle. Today rested, so is it ok if I do a harder 5K this tommorow, an easy 30' orienteering training at Sunday, and easy 30' run at Monday?
Also, recently I incorporated some strength training into my schedule. I'm doing push-ups, core exercises and leg muscle exercises (for quads and hamms, cause I had knee problems in Setember) 4-5 times a week. Is it ok to continue with that, stop totally, or keep it but with lower intensity until I pass through few cycles of program?
looking forward to give my best! thanks for your help!
