How slow is a 40 min mile?

As I said before I'm new at this and I have no idea what an "average" time for a mile would be. Right now I do a non-stop mile (1600 meters) in about 40 minutes. What would be a resonable time for a 48 year old in good good shape? I'm looking for a realistic goal.

    You will save lots of time if you have a proper coach. One who knows how to teach technique. Drills are of no value unless they are done correctly. Oh how I hate to even talk about drills. I spent 30 minutes with a triathlete. He worked on what I thought he should on his own for 2 weeks. He went from a 35 min mile to a 26 min mile.
