I have a Garmin chest belt that connects wirelessly to my PM4. Can I use this with the Sporttracks software and, if so, how do I connect to the software? With a PM4 and a Garmin (ANT+ connection) chest belt you already have 2 of 4 things you need. SportTracks 3 (ST3) is #3. The chest belt it self o...

I repaired the link - removed the ":" at the end. Sorry.

Paul Victory wrote:What are you using to produce the data?

Sport Tracks 3 (with additional plugins), PM5 (PM4 works too, but not PM3), Garmin FR610 (FR210 and FR310XT works too). You'll find some further informations here.


Edith: Repaired the link

Boris: No, I'm not sick, just suffering the effects of twenty years' of chronic laziness. According to the formula (207-(0.7*age)) my max heart rate is 179; I haven't measured it with a sprint yet. I personally don't know any person which really fits into the scheme of these formulas. Unfortunately...

Yesterday I did little "duathlon" session… 6x4242m on slides (with about 1' rest for water intake) @ 74%HRRavg http://i.imgur.com/YmZ3C5x.png?1 ~5-6' rest for changing cloth and drinking some good amount of water (as didn't want to take anything with me) 9.6k as a "sensing run" a...

So much different members posting in this thread… veeeery nice. Love it! :fsbgrin: =P~ On static erg I had found my rhythm and could keep it quite stable (even for longer session) . Not so on slides. So my main objective was to work on technique (again) … today's session was: 10k (205W, 74% HRRavg) ...

I am very unfit, and have just bought a C2 because I would like to change that. […]so let me start with some objective baselining. This. Is. Great. ^O^ =D> 8) I am male, 41 years old, 5'6" and I believe I weigh about 85kg. I haven't played any sports or engaged in any formal exercise for twent...

Sounds like a busy few days Boris. Yes, it was. After the successful move all the (mental) pressure fell of me and I felt very tired for the last two days, but from today on it's better. :D Hope everything goes well in your new apartment and that you enjoy the freedom of being able to erg when you ...

Since 14.7. I was occupied mainly our move to our new home (apartment). I did the hole thing mainly by myself – only for things I couldn't handle by myself or which didn't fit into into our van, I engaged a moving company. My workout for this time was… Stooping, lifting, carrying, stairs down, stair...

I have moved out of my house but don't have a new one to move in to. […] until our new house is available :( So the erg is in a crate in storage with all my other worldly goods. No erg. No training. Misery for the next few weeks. Uuuuuurghhh… what bad news. :cry: :-({|= :cry: I hope this time (next...

I don't think the battery level indicator is very accurate - I have noticed it down one day and back up the next ....... That's a little bit in the nature of batteries. Without load they recover quite quick and can show up high voltages, which then leads to misinterpretation. Under load then, they ...

Yesterday in the late afternoon it started to cool down, even some raindrops fell. :lol: Over night we had a hearty welcome temperature drop. =D> :fsbgrin: Today AM I took the chance :roll: for doing one piece row of 90'. http://i.imgur.com/cN1nsR4.png?1 Temperature/humidity at beginning was 22.7°C ...

The factory reset of the PM5 is still holding good which is good news. This is cool. 8) I had bad luck today. As I started my session I checked battery level, which was 86%. I rowed 2x20'. The first 20' was saved without any issue, the second 20' not – it's not on PM5 internal memory and not on USB...

I have had a bad back (but not as bad as sciatica, thankfully) and very stiff hamstring. So most of my rowing has been plodding along with a stiff leg. […] I have been mixing my training up since the injury […] doing 2 to 3 rounds of this depending on the intensity of the weights before. I like lov...

Some days ago I bought a hygrometer (it's a fast reacting model) … to get some numbers. :roll: Our "erg room" is quite small, has only about 35m3 (1236 cuft) . Today at 10:00 AM I started with a humidity of 42.2% and a temperature of 25.4°C (79°F) . After 2x 20'/90"r and a 5' warmdown...

I had issues with favorites in the past. Had a very nice phone call with C2 (USA) . The developer confirmed me, that there's a bug with "Favorites which contain undefined rest " – I used that quite much. It will be fixed with the next release. ^O^ For those who generally issues with their...

Richard, do you use the favorites feature? Means… do you save certain sessions as favorites? If yes, maybe consider to check this one. I had issues with favorites in the past.

After month of try'n'error, I've found my solution: https://dr3do.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/hurray/

Thanks, Jill.

Very humid here today Set the alarm for 5:45 - WHAT !!!!! :shock: Jogged the mile or so to the gym 1 hour of synchronised sweating whilst sliding up and down on a hard plastic seat on a metal rail holding on to a plastic handle connected to a thin metal chain, that in turn was connected to a fan in...

I was beginning to wonder where you were. Me too. ^O^ Your health and well being are the priority - don't worry about not rowing. When you feel ready, the erg will still be there. As least that's positive Ron; it's not 1 step forward and three steps back. Free Spirits isn't just about rowing - if y...

@ Bryce10 & Rob C Are your batteries already down to about 80-85%? I really start to get into trouble (but each of our PM5's creates different issues, even both have same 19.9 firmware installed) on our both rowers, when batteries get into this range of "discharge". Has one of you poss...

You can say that again! It's unbelievable hot at the moment. :mrgreen: I got up early this morning to try and get some rowing in before it gets too hot. I was in the gym by 8:30, but it still turned into a sweatfest. Tried that too, this morning. But hell, on my a usual paced steady state row I rea...
