I wouldn't bother with "full speed" or "slow" terms, Ride the speed that YOU ride. yet don't "resign"
yourself from ANYTHING on the bike.DO NOT fall into the bad habit of staying glued to the seat.Stand often & learn what it does for/to you & properly utilize the 2 together.NEVER dismount to walk,do what you have to to stay mounted on the bike (on pavement ,that is)Myself, i love the burning & the drive of the climb.
