As slow as you can go while maintaining the running motion (both feet of the ground at the same time during the stride). You can probably walk faster than the run pace, at least at the start. So think slower than a slow thing that is slow or a snail's pace and you won't go far wrong.
Enjoy the plan and keep posting to let us know how you're doing.
If the proverbial snail overtakes you or if its cold a glacier, then maybe you can pick up the pace! Main thing is to feel that you are going slow, if you are really puffed, then its probably too fast. It is difficult to say a speed, because we are all different

You are aiming for what is known as an easy conversational pace, at which you can ungaspingly hold a clear conversation. This will be different for each individual and will get faster as you get fitter.
