Treat Sunday as a long easy run. Great prep for the Pier to Pier. I wouldn’t worry too much about HR, in fact this is the kind of run I would only look at the watch to press stop and start. Just enjoy the event, run the hills and work hard up them, but keep it slow so the HR doesn’t explode. But that would be my test for you Sunday, run the whole race based to feel (RPE: 3, higher uphill). Any other issues with the schedule just shout, but lots of easy miles.

Total of 21 mins of efforts!! A good opportunity to work on a variety of paces across varied reps. The shorter the rep, the quicker you go.
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.
If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
