Join a club. There'll be a really wide mix of runners, and absolutely no sneering from the more competitive in the bunch. Sessions will be targeted to help everyone at all levels (in my experience). People will generally be nice. Going to sessions helps you to keep motivated and you will inevitably try harder when you're not running on your own. If you ask, you'll get plenty of guidance on how best to structure your training.
I'm not a club member at the moment, but when I'm a bit further down the recovery route, I'll join one again.
