Hello all, I appreciate the posts. However, it seems like some misunderstood my question. I'm interesting in pro runner's specific routines, for curiosity. I have a very well thought out warm up routine obtained from my well-versed d1 coach. Not looking to change it, it just seems like all the top dogs (NOP, Bowerman, etc) have some EXTENSIVE stride routines. Also, 9/10 of you have basically said the classic "15min and strides" which, as stated, I am not interested in such a post.
Someone posted a link to a article about Craig Mottram, how much more elite do you need to get? In reality people like to over complete sh!t that is in reality it is best if you keep it simple(k.i.s.s philosophy). Look up Occam's razor. The point of warming up is to get the muscles prepared for the stress you are about to put on it. And the best way to do this is with a easy run/jog, drills and strides.
