How do you level yourself up?
This is how I "accidently" ran my first 3K (just the distance, not a formal event).
I would go on little trail running jags on my regular hikes here and there, slowly advancing with time and consistency.
I would check in with myself: "Do I feel ok? Is anything hurting? How's my breathing?" and if all was good, I'd go a little further.
And the day that I did it, all was good all the way home. That was Metal.
