It is a poor choice of word. But what's interesting to me is nobody notices the end and beginning of sprinting requires rest, regrouping, planning, getting ready. You can't just stop sprinting and start sprinting the next day like you're ready for a brand new race. Sprints should require reflection, a re-set, getting prepared. Instead it's just "the next 2 weeks of the same bullshit", without proper preparation, without clearing the schedules to allow for streamlined work. When sprinting, any bump in the road can make you stumble, losing the race. We need more focus on clearing the bumps out of the road before a sprint.
