Well done you! There's lots if advice on the pinned posts here. The link below might seem like a lot to remember right now, but it does become easier and it's worth paying attention to technique to avoid injury right from a beginning. You could also Google Japanese slow running on YouTube. It's got lots of us through difficult times.

Good luck 👍
