Don't work 12 hour days to get milestone X out, because there are dozens more milestones so don't get burnt on trying to get this one out yesterday. It would probably be more like, don't use 200% to get this out and then quit or burn yourself to 0% or a few % in a year when we want you to extend and maintain this stuff.
replyYeah you're right, I hear it more like "this is a week long hike, not a sprint" as if a marathon included rest. In any length of racing there's no tomorrow. But I'm doing tongue-in-cheek pedanticness here and will stop that right now !
replyIn a marathon, not sprinting is the rest.
replyNo its not a rest, marathon runners are still exhausted at the end, they can't go and run another marathon right after.
replyI'd wager that if a manager says that they want you to take it more like a real marathon and less like long hike.
