Pausing will stop the timer. You can also quit to main menu, continue and get the achievement. You do not have to do this in one sitting.

Here's a video walkthrough. The full recording was about 56 minutes. Not sure if loading screens/cutscenes all count towards the 1 hour as there is no in-game stat/timer. Following this, you will get all story related achievements and I point out where and how to get most of the miscellaneous achievements. Some of them eat up precious time, so you may want to save the speedrun for a second playthrough and just get all the missable achievements out of the way first.
