I usually run my first km at 125HR, 2nd at 135 and 3rd at 145 and then just let it drift between 145-147. This seems to be suit me nicely. A month or two ago I tried to speed up quicker, because I felt that my legs warmed up really fast. First half of the course was record pace, but my pace dropped really fast in the end and I ended up in slower pace then what my "normal" pace used to be around that time. Sufficient warm up is definitely beneficial. About my pace. I usually run my long runs in two rounds, for example, 2 times 5M course. Usually my first km in first run is 45sec slower then the second run. 2nd km is 30sec slower and 3rd is quite close to the first run.
