Need Data Analysis / something better than C2 logbook?

Post by sander »

Free Spirits Friends,

In the past few months I have been developing this site http://rowsandall.com/, mainly for fun and for lack of a good Rowing Data Analysis site.

Please feel free to try out. Registration for basic functionality is free.

What is it?

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.

Indoor Rowing

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, or by emailing workouts to the site to simplify the process for some applications.

On the water rowing

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.

Basic Analysis

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.

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.

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.

The tools also provide a text summary of the row.

Workout Export

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.
