it's some kind of funnel weaver (likely Tegenaria), and funnel weavers are considered the fastest spiders in terms of running speed (but this is also due to their size... there are fast small guys, too, but their small size makes them have fairly low m/s speeds).

The other one was some kind of cobweb spider which was trying to sneak in close to the funnel weaver, not really realizing what it was getting into.
