In summer 2005 I set myself the target of running a sub-40min 10k and a sub 1:30 half. Over the years my enthusiasm for this has waxed and waned and the closest I have ever gotten was about 40:30 and 1:32 about eight years ago.
15 years have passed since I set those objectives and now I find myself on the wrong side of 40, so if I am ever going to hit these times it needs to be this year. Is this at all realistic?

Edit: today's run for some context of how I am going at the moment.
