Mr. Kobayashi: It is very difficult to compare the level that he is on to that of other runners. But in the case of your student, Seko is suggesting that in order for him to make a big jump to a higher level, he has to run more, to double his distance.
Sri Chinmoy: So he should not worry about his timing but run more, increase his mileage. Then, when he gets to a higher level, he should try the concentrated running.
