How we train for rowing.

[DRAFT] This page will document Splits' rowing training method. The final copy is pending approval; for now it shows the standard structure of the methodology pages and the data the pace calculator (/500m) already uses.

DRAFT

This content is a structural draft and has not been approved yet. The methods and copy shown are provisional and may change.

Context

[DRAFT] At Splits we measure rowing with the indoor-rowing standard: pace per 500 meters (/500m), the convention popularized by Concept2 and the one our rowing calculator already uses.

[DRAFT] The definitive methodology explanation for this section is pending review: it will describe how we structure the rowing blocks and how they connect to the calculator.

Methods

[DRAFT] The rowing method families are not defined or approved yet. The three slots below show the page structure.

  • [DRAFT] Method 1 — pending definition

    [DRAFT] The team has not approved the first rowing method family yet. This block is a structure placeholder.

  • [DRAFT] Method 2 — pending definition

    [DRAFT] The team has not approved the second rowing method family yet. This block is a structure placeholder.

  • [DRAFT] Method 3 — pending definition

    [DRAFT] The team has not approved the third rowing method family yet. This block is a structure placeholder.

How we derive the numbers

[DRAFT] The rowing calculator uses baseline times per level and distance taken from the wizard presets (2,000 m, 5,000 m and 10,000 m). The table shows those values exactly as they exist in the product today; the definitive methodology explanation is pending approval.
