I used to do Tuesday and Thursday evening training sessions with Highgate Harriers at Parliament Hill track. Tuesday's were either 8 x 800 m or 12 x 400m on the track, and Thursday were hill sprints. Both will make you a lot faster. I ran with the Bs - the sight of a 15 year old blazing past you is good motivation to keep the effort up. I was probably mid to back of the pack in the Bs, and that was around 2.45 seconds per 800m for 8 reps, for example. As are a lot faster - so if you need higher pace you can run with them.
There is no need to be social. I don't think I knew a single persons name. Parenting permitting I will probably be trying to do sessions over the winter again this year for speed work, as I also want to do a marathon in Spring.
