Default Engine been sitting a while...

I'm about to buy a used truck. It has a NovaRossi CX12 in it but its been sitting for a while. After-run oil was used before he put it away. Its been sitting for about a year. Is there anything specific I should do once I get it started again? Can I just go ahead and run it hard or should I take it easy for the first few tanks to "break it in" again. I know you can only break an engine in once (or piston and sleeve anyway) but cos its been sitting awhile maybe some of the same rules apply to an extent? That or I'm just being paranoid as usual about my stuff

Thanks
