I used a similar program a couple of years ago that my brother sent me from Runners World for a 10K. It was a good program. He used it to get down to about 32:00 for a 10K.
If you haven't already, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of books out there on preparing for various distance races. My wife is preparing for her first marathon in September and picked up a book at Barnes and Noble entitled something like "Preparing for your first marathon". Its an okay book, albeit very light on any acual exercise physiology, more just anectdotal reports from his 30 or so years of running.
I haven't run seriously for several years, but from what I understand with distance running is to not miss your long saturday runs. For a half marathon, I expect you should be doing at least 10 miles without serious difficulty in the weeks leading up to the race.
