Dan if you did a 10min/mile than IMHO quarter mile sprints are not ideal at your current speed. Do shorter intervals of maybe 30 - 60 seconds sprints on a treadmill or telephone pole to telephone pole outdoors. Fartleks help the body by 1) allowing you to become more biomechanically efficient 2) get used to moving your legs faster 3) help your body learn to recover faster.
What's your fitness goal, Dan?
