Well the bike's display is powered by pedaling so even when I was doing the "full bore 6 for 15 minutes straight" it's not like I got on and POOF I was doing 6. I had to start pedaling to get the lights to light up, and it does the whole intro of "welcome to your bike, i am your friend ... enter your chosen program ..." and so on. So I'm sitting there pedaling during that whole part so that the display is lit up
But yes I definitely understand your theory that interval training is important, so I will try then 20 minute run today and see if I can tweak the settings so the starting and ending part are light but not TOO light
