Looking over the thread, I don't see that anyone said the faster runners should dump a workout to run with a slower runner.

I guess you're right, looking back no one really said that. Sorry. I still agree with what I said but it shouldn't be directed at anyone on this thread. Thanks.
Once a week she did workouts/runs with the women only and ran at their pace. She was good like that.

Runners run
I really don't understand why the club officers can't take it upon themselves to personally run 15:00 pace once a week, if that's what it takes to make everyone feel included. It wouldn't be that hard to set up a rotation, or ask for volunteers, so that every pace group has at least one runner to keep them company.
I used to work with a very talented and fast female runner. She was involved with a local running club and could obviously smoke any of the women and most of the men as well. Once a week she did workouts/runs with the women only and ran at their pace. She was good like that.

Mr. Inertia's right - nobody said that. But I'll go ahead and play Devil's advocate and say it myself. But if a running club is open to the public, and actively encourages people of all paces ... I think they ought to arrange it so that just about the slowest runner around has somebody to run with. That means accommodating 13:00-16:00 pace, at least on the long runs.
