Subject: Interval workouts and pace determination
Body:

The distance of repeats can be anywhere from 200m to say 2000m on the track, and the rest interval can short (60 sec.) or long (2-4 min.)

The endless variety has me confused.

For example, the other day I did 10 x 400m w/60 sec rest
With such short rest, I ran closer to my 3K pace than my mile pace. But you could also do 400m repeats at MILE pace and reap a different benefit right?

Same thing for 1000m repeats. You can run them at 5K pace or at 10K pace with adjusted recovery.

I don't train for a specific event, just a range of events from the mile to half-marathon. Every 7 days I run intervals on the track but how do I choose between mile pace/5K pace/10K pace?

Is there an order I should follow? A periodization element I'm not understanding?

To you agree than I should train at goal pace or should it be at date pace?

Should I progress by starting with a desired goal pace and reducing the recovery as the season progresses or should the rest interval stay the same and the speed incease from month to month?
