Do you think jogging a mile is enough? Or is there something else you should do that's better? I think I haven't been loose/warm enough the last few times I did sprints.

i think you should save energy for the springs because they are more explosive then jogging. i would do like metfan said, do a light jog for a little bit to get your body warmed up, then i would right into the sprinting
It is incumbent on you, yes You, to educate yourself to a sufficient extent that you are in a position to evaluate information issued from a position of authority. You are supposed to be able to recognize silly bullshit when you hear it.

Last time I ran 1/4 and thought that would be enough (i was really just lazy to warm up more). Pulled my quad on the 1st sprint.
The time before that I ran 1/2 mile and was mostly fine though really sore after. Maybe 3/4 mile will be a good warmup. Or 1/2 mile and 5 sprints at half speed.
