Well done everyone, it's so inspiring reading about your first steps into the wonderful world of running. I'm very late to this party but I just wanted to say that a fab way to check if you're running too fast is to do the Talk Test. Basically you need to be able to hold a normal conversation while running if you want to be running at a speed that's slow and steady and sustainable. Isn't that totally wonderful? I have NEVER officially been told it's OK to talk - it's usually the exact opposite. The Talk Test is a faff free way of monitoring your speed and ensuring you're not going too fast. Of course if you want to get faster, then you can use it to judge that too. For example, during a tempo run you should be able to speak in short phrases, and during an all-out speed session you should only be able to say one word at a time.
