Easiest thing to do would likely be join a local running group that has various training distances/pace groups
The one I ran with had two annual sessions for half and full training (a long with 5k/10k ).
When I was training for my first ultra (Yamacraw 50k) I just did the full plan with the training group + 4 miles extra on the long Saturday run. Typically I could find a fool to run them with me :)
At least some of Garmin watches have workout suggestions for daily motivation as well as actual training plans you can do. (Found in the connect app) I don't think the suggestions are always great but what you can do is see your training loads in the different zones and decide if you want/should do some intervals or not. My experience with suggested workouts is I can get multiple days of high intensity in a row which I know makes no sense but the watch is trying to get time in that zone in the "range"
Must get used to walking up hills on trails for long runs unless you're not human :)
