Great.

Just keep it nice and steady.

An easy conversational pace is the most effective to build your stamina and endurance........faster is not better.

You'll do fine. I noticed I did run a bit slower but steady so as not to burn myself out. Think I've got R3 at the back of my mind. Just try and enjoy it 👍
