<h2>Welcome to Rowsandall.com</h2>
<p>For many athletes in sports like bicycling and running, there are great online tools to help track your workouts and find insights to help you improve. Rowers have had to either try to adapt these tools to a very different sport, craft their own homemade tools, or lose much of the value that you can get by collecting, processing and analyzing data collected during workouts.</p>
<p>Rowsandall.com is an online tool for indoor and On The Water (OTW) rowers.
It accepts workout data from a number of devices and applications. It
analyzes the data to provide valuable insights about your training,
and enables you to share data with many common online training tracking
systems.</p>
<p>rowsandall.com is a tool for indoor and On The Water (OTW) rowers to get valuable feedback from their training.</p>
<h3>Quick Start</h3>
<p>Many rowers participate in other sports either for cross training or competitively. Rowsandall.com is designed to work together with common fitness tracking tools and other online fitness tracking applications and sites to help you merge your rowing data into multiple tools.</p>
<p>Data from rowing workouts comes from a number of different possible sources. On the Concept2 rowing machines, workout data is captured by the performance monitor, either alone, or with additional hardware like ergstick. This data is collected in workout files by an application running either on PC or a mobile device, such as RowPro, ErgData, PainSled or ErgStick. </p>
<p>On our <a href="/rowers/videos">Videos Page</a>, we already have a few
nice videos to get you started with your rowing data. Jump right in and
see how we do things at rowsandall.com!</p>
<p>Data for OTW workouts is captured and collected by dedicated devices like the NK Speedcoach GPS or by applications like CrewNerd or Rowing In Motion that rely on the GPS and other sensors in the mobile device.</p>
<p>The challenge for rowers has been to process and analyze this data. It comes in a variety of formats (CSV, TCX, GPX, FIT, etc), and is not consistent across different devices and applications. rowsandall.com provides a tool that works across many different devices and file formats and provides the ability to import, analyze and export to many common fitness applications.</p>
<h3>Indoor Rowing</h3>
<p>Concept2 is the manufacturer of most popular indoor rowing machines and a worldwide community of users participate in on-line challenges and use the Concept2 online logbook to record sessions. With the release of the PM5 performance monitor and the ergdata application, Concept2 has enhanced the logbook to provide more detailed data and statistics. </p>
<p>rowsandall.com is designed to work with all models of the Concept2
Indoor rower. Using applications like ergstick, rowpro, ergdata or
painsled; a user can collect stroke by stroke data from the Concept2
Performance Monitor (Models PM3, PM4 or PM5). Workout data can be
exported from these applications, usually in CSV format, and uploaded
to rowsandall.com. Users can upload workouts either through the
online interface, for by emailing workouts to the site to
simplify the process for some applications.</p>
<p>rowsandall.com provides the ability to import from or export to the concept2 online logbook. For example, the ergdata application from Concept2 provides the ability to automatically sync to the online logbook. From the online logbook you can export a CSV file with the details of your session. This CSV file can be uploaded to rowsandall.com and then analyzed on the site, or exported out to other fitness apps.</p>
<p>The PainSled application provides the ability to export workout files, but cannot yet sync directly with the Concept2 online logbook. rowsandall.com accepts these exported files and can upload them to concept2 and other fitness sites. PainSled also collects a large number of erg performance parameters that rowsandall.com can provide graphical analysis for.</p>
<h3>On The Water Rowing</h3>
<p>rowsandall.com supports four different methods to collect OTW rowing data. Older generation devices from NK Speedcoach work with a PC based application, Speedcoach Communicator. This tool reads the speedcoach data over USB, provides primitive data analysis and the ability to export a CVS file for each workout.</p>
<p>The current generation Speedcoach GPS and GPS II can sync with a PC using a different application, "Link". This application exports data in CSV or FIT format.</p>
<p>CrewNerd and Rowing In Motion provide the ability to export workouts in TCX format.</p>
<p>rowsandall.com supports data import from all of these devices. Once imported, the workouts can be exported to the Concept2 online logbook and other fitness trackers. The data can also be processed and analyzed using the tools in rowsandall.com.</p>
<p>On the water rowers use either dedicated devices like Speedcoaches
or smartphone applications to collect data on their workouts.
All of these devices and applications provide a method to export
workout data in CSV, TCX or FIT format files. Workout data in
these formats can be uploaded to rowsandall.com. Users can upload
workouts either through the online interface, for by emailing
workouts to the site to simplify the process for some applications.</p>
<h3>Basic Analysis</h3>
<p>Many athletes use training approaches that use heart rate as a key metric. In general, HR training is managed by defining different training zones for different purposes. rowsandall.com uses heart rate zone definitions that are consistent with the Concept2 Training Guide. (http://www.rathburn.net/rowing/training/indoor_rower_training_guide_v2_abridged.pdf) </p>

<p>After a user defines their training zones, any training files that are uploaded with HR data can be analyzed to provide time in HR zone pie charts.</p>

<p>The tools also provide the ability to review a row, stroke by stroke in plots versus time or distance. Basic plots in include HR, Pace, Stroke rate, and power for the erg.</p>

<p>The tools also provide a text summary of the row.</p>
<h3>Advanced Analysis (Premium Features)</h3>
<h3>Workout Export</h3>
<p>Beyond the basics, rowsandall.com provides a rich tool set for OTW rowing. You can use it to estimate stroke power and to correct for the effects of wind and current. For indoor rowing, when used with painsled, the tools enable graphical analsis of stroke metrics including:
<ul>
<li> Peak and average force</li>
<li> drive length</li>
<li> work per stroke</li>
<li> drive and recovery time</li>
</ul>
<p>rowsandall.com provides the ability to easily export workouts from
the erg or boat to the Concept2 online logbook. Export to other
sport tracking sites like Strava and SportTracks is also supported.
Users can also export workout data by email.</p>
These can be analyzed versus time, distance, stroke rate or other parameters to get a better understand of the strengths and weaknesses of a rowers technique.</p>
<p>The online logbook provide the ability to record OTW sessions manually, but none of the data from these sessions is captured.</p>
