I don't do a lot of speed work. Most of my gains in speed have come from uping my mileage. To get my legs used to turning over, I like to do tempo sessions. Usually 1-2 mile warm up, 3 miles @ 5k or 10k tempo, then a cool down. There are lots of different variations on speed work. A simple one is a Fartlek session where you just vary your speed throughout the run up and down with no set time or distance. Run fast to that lamp pole, slow down for a bit, etc. 400m/800m repeats are a good one too, or hill repeats. Lots of different ways.
