I’m having trouble knowing when a Sprint or finish is approaching.

I really think the User Interface should count you down as you approach the start and end of a sprint (like it would if you were riding an interval in a workout), and it should be much more obvious when you are in the sprint (have an icon, or a different colour somewhere in the UI).

I agree…I just suggested a beam across the road, or non ambiguous road signs…

The starts are marked and the finishes have arches.

Paul,&nbsp;

For me the arches or finish is not the problem…its making the Start as painfully obvious as the finish. Little bit of _anticipation_ goes a long way…just like the _motivation_ at the end, with a CLEAR vision of the end in sight. One can better manage ones resources.
