Count me in the category that would definitely get weeded out for not having a warmup time before fleeing from the bear.
Sample size of one: I just started to "get fit" after 10 years of sitting on my ass. I'm running every morning when I wake up (I always wake up about 5am, but usually I just go back to sleep until the 7am alarm). So I open eyes, put on clothes, and hit the road within 5 minutes of waking up. I have to start at a slow jog, and I'm not able to go much faster than a speedy walk for about 10 minutes before I can actually jog. So for 10 minutes I'm pacing for a 15 minute mile. I can literally feel the moment at which I can comfortably jog, and then I'm able to do 10 minute miles for the duration of the run.
When I started this at the beginning of April, I could only do 30 minutes at a time and was hitting about 2.25 miles. This week I ran 5.5 miles in 60 minutes, still have to take my slow start.

As a contrast, I've been fit all my life (two sport college athlete, resting heart rate in the 30s) and I absolutely cannot imagine sprinting without a warmup. GP, how fast are you? 100m time? I have never, ever seen a coach or trainer recommend anything other than a long slow warmup. As someone who has a chronic hamstring injury, warmup is crucial to any exercise that I do.
