You'll be fine. Remember not to go off like a rocket at the start

It's very very easy to get swept up in the moment and pound the Dickens out of first mile. Try as hard as you can to resist that. Distance isn't the enemy - pace is.

If you can manage 7.5k you can manage 10k no worries - just take it easy. The crowd will help you a lot - it's my favourite thing in running.
