Set up step for SoapUI Load Test

Hi all,

I have a test case which does the following:
- Calls an API
- Saves a few values from the response as test case properties (session token etc.)
- Calls another API, using the mentioned properties in the request body

I want to load-test the last step only, and fire the earlier steps once, to set up the required properties.
How can do that, without running the setup each iteration of the load test?

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays to all!
