My last 5k I did a "jog" about 2mph slower than I had planned to run the race at for 1 mile, this was me, this is what the "ideal" setup would look like:

- 5–10 minutes of aerobic activity (jog, bike, row)
- 5 minutes of dynamic stretching and mobilitywod work (arm swings, leg swings, lunges, neck rolls, mountain climbers, foam rolling)
- 5 minute mental prep

This is similar to what I would do during my competitive days. Warming up for shorter races like a 5K is very important if you want to run fast.
