Hi MrSquigglySquid . Well done for committing to starting this amazing programme. My tips would be to read and take notice of the above post by IannodaTruffe . Critical things for me are 1) good shoes 2) proper rest days 3) sensible pace 4) enjoy those endorphins! You won't believe what you can achieve!
