mega sprint

An extended, all-out grind session that goes far beyond a regular sprint — not just hours but potentially days of focused, relentless work toward a single goal. A mega sprint is what happens when a normal deadline becomes a crisis, or when someone decides to compress weeks of work into a single legendary push. Often announced publicly with some combination of excitement and dread. The mega sprint is both aspirational and delusional in equal measure, but the ones that work become stories people tell for years.
