Figurative use of “too far ahead”

[Tom]

Hi

Does it sound natural to you?

Your sentence sounds fine (to me, at least), except for 'than'. It should be: 'too far ahead of me'.

You can also say: 'he is one jump ahead of me'.

Hi Tom

I agree that you need to change 'than' to 'of'.

Instead of saying 'he is one jump ahead of me' (which might not be far enough ahead to suit your purposes here), you could also say 'he is leaps and bounds ahead of me'.
