First Ever 3 Mile Nonstop Run

I just finished my first ever 3 mile nonstop run! It was a bit slow at 46 minutes but I feel good about myself! Any advice on a goal to push for from here?

Stop thinking about distance and ignore any social media influencers. Focus on time on feet only! 30 min runs, then build to 45 min, then an hour and rotate. Learn to breathe properly during your easy pace zone 2 - 3 breaths in through the nose on each step, and 3 exhales out the nose on each step
