I run with the Running Room running club (do you have those in the US) on Wednesday nights. Wednesday nights is always free and they usually do either hill training or sprint work on Wednesdays. I refuse to slog along for 10 miles at a steady, slow pace so the rest of the nights are out for me. It's a god damn gold mine. I go to a location near a university. It's probably 70% women. Everyone starts together and then naturally splits into groups based on fitness levels. It's pretty easy to start up conversations with anyone in your group.
