Very rarely encounter anyone on there that early in the morning, which is the way I like it(which also might be a little crazy). Anyway, have yet to break 50 minutes on my 10k, so not the fastest runner, averaging between 53 and 55 minutes. Recently switched to kayanos from gel numbus, and pretty happy so far.

If you're really keen on breaking the 50 minute mark then you should think about varying your mileage and intensity. Aerobic performance requires you to work "every part of the curve" - meaning high intensity short runs, low intensity long runs (ie more than 10k), and everything in between (progressions, repeats, intervals within a run from 500m - 2-3km, hills, etc).
