And that’s why metaphors suck. Unlike in a run, where I know the exact moment and location I have reached my halfway point, in a real software project I don’t even know what the actual distance to be covered will be. What sprints force you to do is basically make sure you’re running full tilt for every 400m distance, which is fine if the eventual distance ends up being 800m for example, but if it ends up being 26 miles instead, you’re just gonna burn out well before.
