Below is my warm up routine for any race or training session that involves a warm up prior to repetitions of higher speed running. For a general paced run, such an an EZ hour I do the lunge matrix prior along with the first mile being at a higher than habitual cadence. I may also throw in a few butt kicks, skips, or high knees into that first mile as well.
For the track work or races, my warm up is as follows:
Lunge Matrix
10x forward, side, diagonal, and back lunges

100m High Knees + 300mEZ
