Not starting too quickly is key and it's not easy when the adrenaline kicks in and everyone seems to be overtaking you. Keep at conversational pace and steadily tick the k markers off. If you're feeling okay with 2k to go up the pace a bit and you will probably find you start passing some of the runners that have blown up- it's a great motivation taking people in the last 200m, and 1hr 15 should be very realistic. Main thing is enjoy it (and don't set off too fast!)
