Someone (can't remember who, sorry) said it very well in another thread some time ago: don't "pick up the speed and intensity" until you're ready to receive the same.

Also, if you have to ask "when is that?" -- especially of an internet forum -- there's a good chance the answer is "not yet". One thing can be said for sure, it isn't really tied to your rank or how long you've been training. You're ready when you're ready, and not before.
