This week alternates 3 and 5 minute runs, with very little walk time in between. Because of how much trouble I have had with the second 3 minute run in week 3, this week is kind of psyching me out. It seems like the largest jump of the whole program. Am I getting psyched out for no reason, or is this a tough jump?

Try this. Run a bit slower. Focus on completing the allotted time, but at a slower pace. You'll be surprised how much longer you can maintain a running motion when you slow down.
[edit] Hint: notice how I repeated the word
slow.
