Do long slow distance in your own time for enjoyment. You're in a lovely part of the country.
Remember that you will improve very quickly from a standing start but the rate of improvement will slow down as you get fitter. If you push too hard, you'll get injured. So rest is important too. Though rest can include a slow recovery run just to move the fluids round your body.
Enjoy it, don't turn it into a burden unless you think you can make a living from it.
