Took me until this year to break 40mins barrier so good, constant and specific trining will get you to the times you want...eventually. Don't , er, run before you can walk though...aim for achievable targets.

I really hope he doesn't have a 27 year wait on his hands to knock the 1 min 53 seconds off

I think so much of it depends on your natural fitness, your weight, and your general current state of fitness.

Since that 41:53 was your first 10k, once you've ran a couple of 10k's you'll know what sort of pace you're capable of off your current training (e.g. you might find you can run a 10k tomorrow in under 40mins) - from there you'll get a much better idea of what you need to do in training to achieve your targets.

That said - its by no means an unrealistic target at all. Your biggest gains will come when you first start running and training regularly and then as the times drop it'll become a bit harder to shave time off those PB's.

Keep us updated though with your training and any races you do... I'll be very interested to see how you progress!

Pretty much agree with everone else, what I find works for me is speed interval sessions, 1 mintue on (20km/hr) 1 mintue jog, do that 10 times. I also do a lot of 5K "flat out runs" which i can now do around the 17minute mark, i would suggest if you struggle with bad knees you want to be doing less miles and more specific speed work.
