If racing is a long way off, two or three 5ks at 20-23, full race stroke.

Have you spoken with your coach? How old are you, and how long have you been training? I have an idea of what I would do, but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for you given your age and history.

A good rule of thumb is gradual increases in both volume and intensity, with maximum 2-3 hard sessions per week. Strength training twice is usually good.
