my easy pace is 7min/mile but I don't usually hit it before mile 3 or 4 because before that my legs just feel tight all over the place. what can you hit right out the door and how long does it take you to get down to easy pace?

1 mile
100-150 mt
Depends on the day, sometimes I can't run faster than 8 minute pace for the entirety of the run (my AM runs are usually my shorter run, usually 3-4 miles). Other days I start off at 7:20 and work down.

I think that you are a big liar…or 10 years old.
Which is it?
Honestly I need like 300m. The summer before my senior year of high school I trained with three graduated seniors from neighboring schools, one of whom was recruited to a top-15 DI team after he barely missed FL nationals, one of whom was recruited to a mid-tier SEC team, and one of whom was recruited to a solid DII school. We did almost all of our mileage below 6:45 pace because the faster DI guy refused to run slower than 7:00 pace at any point: he claimed that he would lose aerobic benefit. The four of us would meet at an empty church parking lot out in the country at 5:45 a.m. a few times per week and run 8 to 13 miles with the fastest guy tacking on an additional 3 or so. I swear that the first 0.2 miles were the most painful of the run: he would always take off at 6:30 pace. My knees and ankles always felt stiff and useless until I loosened up a bit, but those runs were the reason that I went from running 18:05 at a junior to low 16s as a senior.
Granted, I couldn't go out and run 58 for 400m after a 300m warmup, but I can be comfortable at 6:30 pace after that.
lol I'm the opposite, I usually run the first few hundred meters too fast and then back off into 'easy pace'

Who needs 4 fking miles to hit their steady pace?! I literally hit my steady pace right out of the door no joke. I usually do 5 in 30 minutes. How far are you jogging if you need 4 miles just to get into it?!

Sounds like your friend is an idiot
When its cold it takes me awhile to getgoing and feeling good. This morning was cold and wet and I didnt start feeling really great until about 4 of a 10 miler
Not feeling smooth on any run until I've 'dropped the kids off at the pool', then I'm ready to roll....
I think it takes longer as you get older. At 51, I need 3 miles to warm-up before my stride is right and my body is ready to run harder/faster. Fifteen years ago I would be able to fall right in after a few hundred meters.
Until this year it was about half a mile. Suddenly it's shot up and I need well over a mile till the tightness dissipates. Even then the same PE that nets 6:20s in the evening has my right around 7s in the morning. I'm 36.
both
