At the end of the day, be happy with where you are and what you've accomplished.

I really don't think it makes a lot of sense to follow any program word for word. Read both books, understand the concepts and the purpose behind certain kinds of workouts--and then put it together with your own strengths & weaknesses, your goals, what you like and don't like, and what you want to get out of training.
Do you think 4-6 weeks of a change in training is enough to see a positive effect (like your 5k prep). I'd assume that would be the minimum, but I don't know.
