If you go by the Pete Plan, I think it's roughly current 5k pace. The Wolverine Plan calls for 1.08 x current 2k pace (which probably works out to be pretty similar). Try it at 5k pace and see how it goes, if it is too fast and you blow up, back off a second or two next week and keep working it down.

For me this one is about 5k -1 sek

For Wolverine the SLOWEST is 1.08 x current 2K.
Pete's advice is the first time to do it at a time you know you can safely complete--like current 7500m (but 6000m would be safe), for all but the last one. For the fifth one do it all out. Then the following time do the first four at the average of the first time and then the last one all out.

If you've done 4x2K you can take a half second off that pace

You could do something like 5K + 2 for the first two, then decrease it by one second per interval if the previous was not hard.

Be cautions the first time. In the long run it will not matter if you start a bit slow.
