no Stacy .. no major concern .. you have moved to a new level .. have always envisaged this however I want to put a little warning into your mind that you must not run too quick too often
play with this a little .. from my years of coaching and before heart rate monitors were all the rage .. how would I provide pace for easy training runs etc ..
so here goes .. we take current 10k pace and add 1 minute .. so if the athlete runs 40 minutes for 10k, it is 4 minutes per k .. so 5 minutes per k for easy runs up to 1hr .. then longer runs over 75 minutes to 2hrs plus we look to add 1 minute 30 per k (max)
so from experience we have found 140 bpm (on average) is normally that easy run
now these are just guides it is all part of the framework
so with that said .. no need to be anxious but instead cautious .. watch your am pulse and hold back a little in sessions
and in closing .. in truth .. I would be more chuffed than anxious as you have undoubtedly moved to a new level
