You’ll be fine and you have the right attitude - get round and enjoy the ride rather than focussing on the time. Break it down however makes sense for you but likely each block will get harder than the next so be sure to account for that. If you could do a training run which has you on your feet for the time you expect to be running for is always what I find helpful. Don’t have to do the distance but just so you know what the time on feet feels like

Have my first 10k at the end of May and will only have completed Couch to 5k about 3 weeks before. Will the 10k kill me?
Currently thinking that if I take it slow and break it down into 4x 2.5ks, then that'll help with the mental aspect as I realise I've left it too late to get up to 8-10k levels in advance.
Goal is to complete the 10k rather than specific time (a slow and steady 1hr 15mins feels feasible)
