Tips on warming up for a 5k please.

I set of this morning to try and do a fast one (by my standards) and couldn’t get my legs going.

I’ve run 10k at not that much a slower pace so I assume I need to get my HR up before I start and just suffer a bit like a 20 min FTP test on the bike?

For ref my max HR is about 187 and threshold HR about 170.

I'd probably plan on a minimum of a couple of km easy warm up, stretching a bit, then some strides (say 4x 20s building pace to almost sprinting).

^ this but replace stretching with dynamic stuff (like skipping) in amongst the strides.
