Erg is the rowing training journal built for athletes who live by the split. THE SPLIT IS EVERYTHING A 1:45/500m split is competitive. 2:00 is recreational. Sub-1:30 is elite. Every training decision serves one number: the split. Erg captures it precisely along with distance, stroke rate, heart rate, watts, drag factor, and notes - so your training data is never lost to memory. LOG EVERY SESSION Record steady state rows, interval sets, time trials, races, cross-training, and on-water sessions. For intervals, log per-rep splits to reveal pacing patterns across the set. For 2K test pieces, capture your 500m splits, stroke rate, heart rate, and how it felt. 2K PR TRACKER The 2K test is rowing's defining benchmark. Track every attempt with time, split, stroke rate, and heart rate. Watch your progress documented across months of training. Breaking 7:00 is one of rowing's great milestones - Erg documents every meter that gets you there. TRAINING ZONES FROM YOUR 2K Enter your 2K time and get a full training zone table: UT2 steady state, UT1 endurance, AT threshold, TR near-race pace, and AN anaerobic. Use the zones to plan easy volume, threshold work, race preparation, and sprint efforts with better pacing. INTERVAL TRAINING Log interval sets with per-rep distance, time, split, stroke rate, heart rate, rest, and notes. See the average across the set. Identify negative split patterns that predict race performance. PR BOARD Track personal records across every standard distance: 500m, 1K, 2K, 5K, 6K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, 30 min, and 60 min. Every PR is stored with time, split, stroke rate, heart rate, date, and notes. PRO FEATURES - Unlimited session history - 2K Predictor: estimate your 2K potential from training data - On-Water Session Log: boat class, conditions, coach feedback, technique notes - PR Progress Timeline: visualize improvement over time - World rankings context for benchmark pieces - AI Rowing Coach: personalized coaching powered by Grok AI - CSV Export: export your full training history BUILT FOR ROWING NUMBERS Every field is designed for rowing and ergometer training: split per 500m, stroke rate in strokes per minute, drag factor for resistance, and the PR distances rowers actually care about. Erg speaks your language because every screen is built around training data that matters. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
