My vitaras said to break it in for 1000 miles, i havnt heard much on others breaking them in. But i dont know why you would do it like how you plan to drive it. Isnt the point of breaking it in not to beat on it. My vitaras also said, not to go over 2/3 of your redline, hold steady speeds, avoid revving and downshifting. I've heard of people spinning bearing a lot when they "break em in hard", so i wouldnt drive it like you stole it during break-in. Im still breaking mine in as we speak as well.
