Do you think this is too fast to "warm up" correctly?

I personally think sprinting should be done after at least 10 minutes but really 15 or more. Sprinting is all out; there are several levels to get through and warm up before this one. To exagerate things a bit, a bike rider on the major tour rides will warm up on their stationary bike for 30 minutes or more before beginning a race.
Walking for 4-5 with a jog for another 5 minutes is pretty good...then pick up the pace for another 5 minutes but don't sprint until after all that. It will at laeast save you from pullled muscles. By the time you are warmed up for sprints you really won't feel the need to walk after until you are finished.
