I am not sure I understand the question. Simply put, if you run more often, you will improve faster (the exception being, of course, that taking easy days often and, every once in a while, a day off will make you faster). But if you do one or 2 sprints a day with rests far in between, it will not likely do much. Try to do organized workouts instead, if time allows for that. One excellent workout that seems to fit what you described is as follows: Begin by doing an extremely slow warm up run, for about 20 minutes. Then go on a long run, with sprints interspersed in it. Run relatively slowly for 1 minute, then fast for 2 minutes, then slowly for 1 minute, fast for 2, slow for 1... until you finish. Then just jog or, if your legs are too trashed, walk home.
