RowHero vs upliNK Rowing

Coaches: get 100% accurate, stroke-by-stroke erg results for your team, stored forever Here's how it works: • Before a workout, every athlete quickly connects RowHero to their Concept2 PM5. It's all wireless. • Every piece/interval result then gets sent directly to your app at the end of every piece. • You get access to everything you're used to, plus stroke-by-stroke breakdown of every piece, and new metrics like stroke length and potential split. And because workouts are saved forever, so you get to see your team's progress over time without trying to put together the right set of spreadsheets every single time. Rank results by raw speed or performance improvement to provide opportunities for everyone to shine. Athletes, find personalized ways to get faster As a former youth coach, my goal is to help you be the best competitive rower you can be. Here's what RowHero can do for you: • Never have to wonder about your 2K or 6K PR again. It's all right in the app for you. • Getting faster is all about understanding where you have the biggest area to grow: technique, fitness, and mindset. RowHero can help you identify where to focus based on its stroke length and potential speed metrics. • When you row with a team you can automatically you see how you stack up against others, so you can use your teammates as motivation to keep pushing for more. Stats are only part of the equation, but if you're driven to improve, you can build your confidence tremendously with what RowHero shares with you. Are you in? Questions, feedback, suggestions?

Most rowing analysis tools (including the official app) only scratch the surface of what your SpeedCoach records, especially when paired with the NK Empower Oarlock. UpliNK is designed for rowers, scullers, and coaches who want deeper insights, clearer visualizations, and more meaningful performance analysis. Whether you're training for your next regatta, refining technique, or tracking long-term progress, the app transforms raw NK SpeedCoach data into actionable information that helps you row smarter and faster. Advanced Performance Analysis Go beyond average splits and basic workout summaries. Analyze your sessions with powerful tools designed specifically for rowing: • Detailed interval and segment analysis • Custom-defined segments for targeted review • Median and average performance metrics • Session-to-session comparisons • GPS-based performance evaluation • Interactive maps and course analysis See exactly where performance gains and losses occur on the water. • High-resolution GPS route maps • Color-coded performance overlays • Compare multiple sessions on the same course, or different courses • Visualize boat speed, stroke rate, and other metrics along the route • Overlay comparison lines from previous rows Whether you're evaluating race pieces or daily training rows, the map tools make it easy to identify patterns that traditional data tables miss. Powerful Stroke Visualization When paired with data from an NK Empower Oarlock, the app provides detailed stroke-level analysis that helps reveal technical strengths and weaknesses. Visualize metrics including: • Maximum angle • Effective angle • Catch angle • Finish angle • Slip • Wash • Drive length • Stroke length • Quadrant analysis • Force curve characteristics Understand not just how fast you rowed, but how effectively each stroke produced speed. Customizable Charts Every athlete and coach focuses on different metrics. Create the views that matter most to you. • Multiple graph types • Custom metric selection • Compare metrics on the same chart • Analyze trends over time • Focus on individual segments or entire sessions Compare Sessions Like Never Before Improvement happens over weeks, months, and seasons—not just individual workouts. Quickly compare: • Technique metrics between rows • Boat speed and stroke rate trends • GPS tracks on the same course • Quadrant distributions • Segment performance • Empower Oarlock measurements See exactly how changes in technique translate into performance gains. Built for Rowers This app was created specifically for the rowing community—not adapted from generic fitness software. The analysis tools are designed around the metrics that matter on the water. Requirements • Requires workout data recorded by an NK SpeedCoach (.csv or .fit files). • Some advanced stroke analysis features require data from an NK Empower Oarlock. NK Empower Oarlock data requires .csv. • NK SpeedCoach and NK Empower products are sold separately and are not included with this app. This app is not affiliated with Nielsen-Kellerman. Take your rowing analysis beyond basic summaries. Turn every stroke into insight and every workout into an opportunity to improve.
