I've had exactly this problem myself. The slow (10mph) groups are very slow and chatty, but the speed-oriented groups started too fast for me. I finally found one that was running 13-15 (and actually going that speed), but they're rare.

I'm not good about pushing myself to do intervals while riding, so what I've been doing by myself is hills -- which are basically like intervals except you can't slack off and not do them, because you do have to get up the hill. And my speed is coming up -- as is my hill-climbing ability.
