How to run faster ?

I have been running for many years but have never been very serious in my training. I do keep quite detailed running log for years, it's fun to read it when I am free. I started training with my running mate last June and I have made some progress since. I have definitely increased the maximum distance I can run without having to really stop, about 33 km from my previous best of maybe 15 km. timing wise, I improved my half marathon time from 2 hr 11 min to 1 hr 57min. In the past  it has. Ever cross my mind that I can actually run 18 km and still able to achieve a 10 min 2.4 km. I think mentally and physically I have improved quite abit, I can control my pace and speed better. I think the next step for me will be to maintain a lower body weight and core strenght to improve my running efficiency. Hopefully  I can achieved a sub 1 hr 50 min for my next half marathon in April 2013.

SpaceX Starship first touchdown

SpaceX Starship 3rd ITF is likely in later part of March 2024, looking forward to the first successful touchdown of the both booster and Starship !  Controlling the engine sufficiently would be critical to achieving the landing either on land or at sea based platform.  Looking to see the first payload by the 5 or 6th launch. If the 3rd test can see the Starship coming back for a controlled landing, then progress should be fast. Should see at least 4 to 5 Starship flights or test in 2024.

Human need to move away from combustion engine

With the current technology, it’s difficult for human to think about moving away from combustion engine. It’s the only way they can think of that will generate sustainable energy to travel over distances! Generating sustainable energy without burning too much fuel is always the issue with transportation over significant distances! Or perhaps the fuel source is the issue with human travel!

SpaceX is targeting to launch the 4th IFT of Starship today 6 June 2024 at 8.50 am ET.

The test just completed, both the Superheavy and Starship made it back in 1 piece, what an amazing feats!
