How does one get faster?

First, take care of your biomechanical issues (pain while pedaling). Until you can get that corrected, pushing for more speed and doing hillwork will more likely injure you than make you faster.

Once you get that taken care of, and establish a decent "pain free" base of riding then worry about your speed and all advice given so far by the gang will do that for you.
