My kinda advice 🕶
Should I try 10k at race pace or something? Not sure how to predict a race time. I did a 19:45 5k in December, based on that, online calculators say 1:32 for a HM but I just can’t see myself running for an hour and a half at 4:20/km

Take a look at negative or positive split calculators.
I've found racing easier when running negative splits -https://www.ridersite.org/SBTraining/PaceCal.php?race=Half-Mar&split=-3&hrs=1&min=35&sec=0

Just try and see, with your engine I bet you go sub 1:30

You’ll be fine and could probably do it without fuelling (drinks/gels) but if you did plan to, then good to practice a run to see how your body deals with that.
Predict your time and then look to go for a run where you spend that amount of time on your feet - don’t necessarily do the full distance but gets your body used to running for that long.
Bent leg calf raises, Kosak squats, deadbugs would be some good body weight exercises you could throw in which won’t hurt.
