Yes. Sprinting requires that you access the fast twitch mucsle fibers in your body. By running long slow distance, your fast twitch muscles are never trained for what they are supposed to do consequently, you will not be able to sprint as fast.

Why do your arms hurt when you are running long distance?

It has to do with circulation and respiration. When you're running your oxygen is being used at an increase rate so that your body can pump blood to your leg muscles to continue running. Because your arms have a less important role in running, they get less blood, and start to hurt because you're still moving them without getting the extra bloodflow.
