Instead of doing a sprint at the end of your run, I recommend that you periodically increase your pace during your run. Obviously this would change depending on your distance, but by increasing your pace in the middle of your run, your legs will get used to more turnover.
Ex. If you're running 2.25 miles, then increase your pace for about 1 or 2 minutes.
If you run 4 miles, then maybe have 2/4 reps of 2 minutes at an increased pace.
Hopefully that was not too confusing.
