You should be able to comfortably run for one hour before starting this plan.  The weekly volume of the plan starts at 5:30 for the first week and peaks at 7:45.  If you're not currently running the mileage prescribed in the workouts, you should start by gradually building up for a few weeks or months (depending on your starting point) before starting this plan.
