Walking a 5k for the first time and extremely nervous 5 ft 200lbs

Hello I 27M will be walking a 5k for the very first time and I don’t know what to expect. I have health anxiety and I am already trying to overcome that while trying to go to the gym regularly. I guess I’m afraid over passing out or cardiac arrest ( I know it’s very dramatic lol). I try to average 10k steps but I don’t know what to do to mentally prepare for this. I guess I’m just wondering what an acceptable time is for walking a 5k while trying to manage my anxiety lol
