Somehow, someway, you must find a way to train either on your own or with a friend (or group) outside of practice. Weekends???
If the plan is to run a 6 miler at practice and the group leaders only want to run an easy 8 min pace and then cut the distance short, you either run with them or without them. Perhaps start the run fast and leave them behind or start late and run on your own.

Easy runs aren't the runs that are improving your fitness.
Actually they do, they increase aerobic capacity, bunch of physiological improvement made in fitness through easy runs
I don't know why everyone seems to think that easy runs don't do anything for you, there's a reason why you do them, and it's not just to recovery, they actually help you gain fitness
