Clicked around a little and didn't see how old he is. Personally, I could run a mile under 5 minutes in high school, ran track for high school and college, wore out my knee so it hurts constantly at any more running for years after, and currently I'd be happy to get any time at all nowadays. So 10 minutes could be quite good considering his life situation.
With rovers shooting lasers on Mars I'm disappointed that ligament and joint repair isn't as routine as dental work. Actually, I'm also disappointed that I still have to brush my teeth. The technology trickle down doesn't really jump out at you, does it? Imagine a country redirecting a year of military spending to advance the smaller everyday things.
