I also say join a club. Clubs are good*. I'm at the slower end of my club, but everyone is really supportive during runs and track sessions. It's helped me get faster, I'd never have the motivation/discipline to do speed work alone.
*Not all clubs may be equally good. I tried another one first, and slower runners felt like a burden to the faster. Try before you buy.

I'm feeling pretty gloomy following my race yesterday. Obvs I knew I wasn't going to be super fast or anything but to still be so slow... :( Will I ever improve? Why does running come so unnaturally to me? Why do I give up so easily? Urgh.
So, I'm trying to think of positive things I can do to get better. Should I join a club? (or will everyone mock me for not being good enough?) What else can I try?
