The state of operating at maximum velocity with zero time for detours — head down, objectives locked, everything non-essential ignored. Speedrun mode is what you enter when the deadline is too close, the patience is too thin, or you've simply decided that the normal pace of life doesn't apply to you right now. It's not about quality; it's about throughput. Used admiringly when someone smashes through a task, and humorously when someone is clearly skipping steps they probably shouldn't skip.
He's in full speedrun mode this morning — showered, ate, and left the house in eleven minutes flat.
