Every 4th week we take a recovery week. That means the training reduces in volume or intensity. It’s just a way for the body to absorb the recent training load, and then we kick on again the following 3 weeks. Plus it’s always there when you are working hard to know a recovery week is never that far away. Tuesday efforts with the gang, Wednesday easy and then parkrun Saturday. Decent week. Any issues just shout.

A good chance to work on your 5k pace. If you can hit the quicker end of zone 6, then perfect. Don’t go too fast though, especially in the early reps.
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.
