A Training Run with Ramaala

When you go running with a marathon champion, something inexplicable happens to time and space.

Not only do you become hyper-aware of how two moving objects can separate from each other as if one of them — the one seeming to exert more energy — is standing still, your mind also begins to ask questions involving the passing of minutes and seconds.

Is their length relative to speed and distance covered? And, on the same field, on the same day, is it possible that a minute can really be shorter for one than for another?
