The distance and time may not always be 100% accurate, but they are pretty close. Running semi-seriously for about nine months (and staying relatively injury free) I have managed to increase from about 14km/h to a little over 15km/h. That is roughly going from 4:15 per kilometre to maybe 3:55 per kilometre at best.

If I could get down to around 3:45 per kilometre for a 10-15km race distance this year I would be quite pleased.
