Recovery week which is well timed after cramming more into last week. I’ve also got next week as blanked out? I always like to double check that is the best for some rest? Especially with Xmas coming up. We could change that if need be. But a relatively kind week. You can always switch efforts for one of the group sessions if you prefer.

Maintaining your current 5k pace will get progressively more challenging as a session unfolds. So breaking it down in this nature should allow you to maintain that pace for the whole session.

You’ve well educated in this area so more than happy if you want to mix it up.
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.
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
