I'm kinda confused. I personally don't allow myself to do extra stuff because I have energy left over from not doing my main work-- weird little rules like this help me keep focus. I'm also a bit surprised that your legs are fine for sprints but not squats. Anyway. Recovery runs help my leg soreness.
I guess the question(s) that I think is(are) coming through is if you know what your goals are and if you doubt that your program is well-suited for them?

Not really sure what you are getting at here, I'm following the Rippetoe starting strength routine so I'm not going to do more sets of the main lifts than is recommended on my second day even if I have a little extra left in me. I'm also doing lifts that I have never done before, so I'm not going to keep pushing myself when I'm not comfortable with my form.
As for the leg soreness, it wasn't that I couldn't do squats, but with them being as sore as they were it seemed to me a better idea to give them a couple of extra days rest until Friday instead of wearing them down even more. I've never experienced soreness as a result of tabata sprints so I didn't think those would be an issue.
I think my program is suited to my goals(strength, cardiovascular endurance), can you elaborate?
