5k pace will feel like "I really want to stop now, but I can keep going if I push myself" then recovery will feel like something of a relief. Recovery pace may not be much faster than walking (try not to walk, but if you have to walk after a hard burst don't feel bad about it). But most important for now is to get a feel for running at different speeds and intensities. Don't kill yourself, but don't be afraid to run pretty hard for a little bit.
