hats you should do some track work, my speed always improves most when i am going once a week.
if you didn't want to go to the effort of joining a club the run dem track sessions at mile end on thursdays are open to anyone and have a decent amount of women and I don't think I've ever heard an RDC member mock another for their running ability). the sessions are loosely coached. only cost is paying to use the track which is about £3.20
if you seriously can't stomach track then you could look into doing some training runs with WMN Run http://wmnrun.com/ it was setup to get more women into endurance running
they're all training for manchester marathon at the moment but it's an amazing group and you'd be very much welcome to join them I'm sure and would offer a challenge but in one of the most supportive ways possible.
