I can appreciate that. I originally never found the benefits of it until I started upping my mileage and then noticed how sore I was becoming. Then injuries happened and made the decision to start warming up and cooling down properly.
Easy runs are just dynamic stretches, but any speed work will be a 10-20 minute easy pace, followed by dynamic stretching.
Even when I have been at 50+MPH for marathon training it hasn’t been my thing. As long as I got a walk in and didn’t hit the track without a warm up jog, it worked for me.

Static stretches after every run.
