Please read the requirements for this app before downloading and purchasing remote coaching functionality. Terms And Conditions https://powertendevelopment.com/remote-rowing-coach-terms-and-conditions/ Privacy Policy https://powertendevelopment.com/remote-rowing-coach-privacy-policy/ Remote Rowing Coach is an iOS app designed to run on iPhone and iPad devices. Once the app is connected to the PM5 monitor on the erg it records workout metrics and displays them in real-time. It will also upload most workouts to the Concept2 Logbook provided the user authenticates with the Logbook from within the app. Remote Rowing Coach also provides the functionality (with the purchase of an in-app subscription) to allow another 3rd party to view PM5 metrics in real-time remotely. Please note that in order to access this functionality, the third party will also need another instance of Remote Rowing Coach running with the subscription service purchased for that device. Another way to view real-time metrics is to use the website associated with this app and which can be located at: https://remote-coach-481a5.firebaseapp.com/remoterowingcoach/login.html In order to use this app, a user is required to have a Concept2 rower with a PM5 monitor capable of Bluetooth. This app will NOT work with a PM3 or PM4 monitor. Additionally, the force curve functionality is ONLY available on PM5 monitors that were manufactured in late 2016 or later. Features Displays your workout in real-time. This screen shows the following metrics Current 500m/split Average 500m/split Distance Time Elapsed Stroke Number Drag Factor Power (Watts) Stroke Rate (Strokes per minute) Heart Rate and Heart Rate Zone (UT1, UT2, AT, TR, AN). Force Curve Screen The force curve screen shows the following metrics. Real-time force curve data Impulse (calculated as Average Force x Stroke Time) Peak Force (in Newtons) Average Force (in Newtons) % of stroke rowed when peak force is achieved Average Force / Peak Force % Drive Time (seconds) Drive Length (meters) Work per stroke (Joules) Training Review Remote Rowing Coach allows for the review of your training pieces. Provides average calculations for Stroke Rate, Average Heart Rate, Average Pace, Average Peak Power, Average Stroke Length, Average Drive Time, Peak Force Percentage Average, Average Work Per Stroke, Average Stroke Speed, Average Impulse. Additionally, training summaries include maximum, minimum, and ending heart rate metrics. Training Splits The training split screen shows all splits recorded by the app/PM5 during your training. Data Analysis The data analysis screen allows for every metric captured to be displayed on a scatter graph. The user must choose the metric for the x-axis and also for the y axis and then plot the graph. Training data can be uploaded to the Concept2 Logbook from this screen (assuming an account has been authenticated in the settings screen). Training data can also be exported in a CSV in a more detailed fashion. (Stroke Number, Time, Distance, 500m Split, Power, Cal/Hr, Heart Rate, Stroke Rate, Peak Force, Average Drive Force, Drive Time. % of stroke at peak force, Impulse, Work per stroke, stroke speed, and all force curve points for each stroke. Force Curve Analysis (in-app purchase) Analyze your training data by looking at your average force curve for a particular stroke rate. Stroke Analysis For those users equipped with a PM5 model that is a later than 2016 model. PM5 console (hardware version 600 or higher) force curve data collection is available. The stroke analysis screen allows for stroke by stroke comparison of force curves for those users that want to look at any of their individual force curves. Viewing Concept2 Logbook Training If your app is authenticated with the Concept2 Logbook, view your training data from within the app. A scatter graph is used to show pace / 500m, stroke rate, power, and heart rate (heart rate was recorded using the PM5).

Photograph your Concept2 monitor after a piece and Watta logs the whole workout. No typing, no cables, no pairing needed. Every session is scored 0–100 and kept in your training log. SNAP YOUR ERG. WATTA LOGS IT. Take a photo of the PM5 summary screen, or pick one from your camera roll. Watta reads distance, time, average split, stroke rate and every interval, plus watts, heart rate, calories and drag factor when the monitor shows them. You check the numbers before anything is saved. Photograph several screens (summary, splits, heart rate) and Watta reads them as one workout. EVERY SESSION SCORED 0–100 The Effort Score rates how hard you really worked, from four parts: • Cardiac Load: your average heart rate against your heart-rate reserve • Work Output: watts and duration, scaled for your body weight • Pacing: how even your splits were • Economy: watts per stroke Zones: Recovery, Building, Training and Peak. HEART RATE ZONES Pair a strap to the PM5 so heart rate shows on the screen, and Watta labels each piece by zone using your resting and max heart rate. YOUR WHOLE TRAINING LOG Every workout in one place, with personal bests for every standard distance on each machine, progress charts, streaks and achievement badges. Import the sessions you upload to the Concept2 Logbook. NEW: SEND WORKOUTS TO YOUR PM5 Got a PM5? Build a workout in Watta (a 2k test, an interval set, a steady piece), save it to your workout library, and tap Start on my PM5. Watta sets it up on the monitor over Bluetooth, ready to row. Then snap the screen when you're done. COACHING Coaches keep a library of sessions, build training plans of up to 12 weeks, and send them to individual athletes or a whole boat. Athletes accept a session, row it, snap the result and mark it done, and the coach sees how it went against the plan. Invite rowers by email or with a crew code, even before they have Watta. CLUBS AND SQUADS Join your club with an invite code, train with your squad, see their workouts in your feed, and compare on club and squad leaderboards. BUILT FOR CONCEPT2 Works with the RowErg, SkiErg and BikeErg, on PM5, PM4 and PM3 monitors. Sending workouts over Bluetooth needs a PM5. Photos of other brands of rower aren't read automatically, so enter those sessions by hand. Free to download. Every erg matters. Watta is a training log, not a medical device. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise programme.
