I'm sure this will have been discussed before, but interested in peoples thoughts on ideal warm-up routines immediately prior to a race (let's us a 10km road race as an example).
At present, I tend to Stretch out a bit, and maybe jog up and down a bit (more to dispel nervous energy than for any specific physiological reason).
Can anyone share any wisdom on what would be an ideal pre-race preparation?

15 mins warm up (very slow running)
10-15 mins stretching (yes there do exist that many different exercises)
10-15 mins technical running and at the end 3 x 80m accelerations
But I would never take so much time for a road race. But the best way not to get to nervous is having a routine that you stick to every time.
