I'm running a 5k next week and I'm planning to do a speed workout on the track before, any good workouts to do before a race? My current pr is 19:15, any advice on any track workouts that could help me find the right pace for a pr? Most of my workouts are on the trials so help is appreciated!

Workouts are to be done after races. Works for RUPP, works for you.
I'm guessing you more mean a warm up involving some fast pickups rather than an actual pre-race workout. Is that correct?
Also, is the race a track 5000m?
You want to do a track workout immediately before an attempt to PR for a 5K? What kind of sense does that make?
Why are so many guys on letsrun pretending to be girls nowadays? We all know there are no females that visit this site, let alone post on the message board.
When I said a workout before the race, I meant a week before, I just wanted any ideas that could help me with knowing the right pace or some quick repeats or something.
10 days before do:
5x1000 and goal pace (or using Jack D pace chart) with 1:00 rest. Finish up with a fastish 400 and a couple 200s.
