I'm still taking things slow by comparison. I tend to start somewhere around 1.5-1.7 mph for the first ten minutes or so of warm-up and then I speed up, slowly, to 2 mph or just over. Last night I went to 2.5 mph and stayed there for some considerable time. I've tried 3 mph and found I'm just not ready to do that for any length of time and therefore anything faster is out, at least for now. I'm not trying for speed so much as "dwell time" so speed isn't a big issue, though it does feel psychologically better to be able to speed up.
