Wow. That link took me to a page with a cookie notice that had no options to deny them, and it hijacked my browser’s back button.
Total UX fail. Zero trust in the content from this potential reader.

Maybe you'll prefer the paper version then: https://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Solve-Problems-Test-Ideas-eboo...

#5You lost me at "sprint."
I'm a marathon runner worried about a goal way down the road, not running 100m after 100m after 100m until I essenrially sprint a marathon (~42km) and die somewhere in the process.
To bring this silly neverending business analogy full circle, there's a reason people run quite differently in actual sprints and marathons. If you treat a marathon like a sprint, you're going to tire out early and fall behind. It's all about steady paces, small breaks, and occasionally picking up the pace to push yourself when needed.
You can set some runners up in a marathon, then lie and setup posts every 100m and tell them they just need to sprint to the first 100m and then "we'll treat this like a real marathon." After they get to 100m you can shout, oh shoot we need to catchup, and sprint to the 200m mark. Continue this perpetually until your runner basically exhausts and dies out and just says "I quit this race."
Thats basically what most businesses do, create perpetual sprints that are completely unsustainable. Businesses have the flexibility that in their race, if the runner grows tired of their terrible coach angsting them on, they can just sub out a new fresh naive runner mid-marathon and start the full cycle all over again.
Let's stop encouraging businesses that sprinting marathons is an acceptable practice... let's run marathons like--marathons.

You’ve gone far too deep on what was once a very loose metaphor, and is now just a piece of jargon with its own meaning (one which is pretty close to your exact suggested marathon strategy anyway).

I understand your point and I agree, but have you read the book? It's useful for managing stakeholder expectations and to fight scope creeping by keeping things simple.
