Check an erg test before work, set a pace for the next club session or compare cross-training after a surf-club block. All 13 tools use familiar rowing units. Their core calculations also sit inside the Row HQ coach dashboard for clubs managing more than one result.
This hub gives Australian rowers 13 browser tools with no account gate. Convert a Concept2 split into watts, build training bands from a 2k, compare adjusted erg scores, or project another race distance. The format stays metric and keeps pace in /500m, so the result fits club, school, masters and surf-club crossover training.
Splits, tests and race targets
Enter a /500m pace and read the matching watts, calories and finish times. Reverse the calculation from power, distance or total time.
Check a splitCompare raw erg scores with Concept2 weight-adjusted times and an illustrative age adjustment. Includes example bands and clear limits.
Compare the scoreTurn a current 2k split into UT2, UT1, AT, TR and AN targets, with stroke-rate guidance and interval pieces for the programme.
Plan the sessionCompare predicted splits from 500m to half marathon and equal-pace reference times. Includes illustrative training-zone bands and printable tables.
Open the chartEstimate a 2k time from a longer test. Compare three model scenarios and a target split time, then check the estimate against real results.
Estimate the 2kPower, drag and adjustment
Swap watts for /500m pace or convert a split back to power. Use the table when a coach sets wattage across mixed crews.
Switch unitsChoose an illustrative starting drag factor, then check the monitor reading and stroke feel. Explains why the damper setting is not a fixed drag value.
Find a settingCalculate a Concept2 weight-adjusted erg score from body weight and actual time. Keep the original result for online rankings.
Adjust the scoreConditioning and crossover work
Work out distance per stroke from split and rating, or solve for pace when a technical session sets DPS first.
Work out DPSConvert mechanical work in kJ and session duration into estimated Concept2 monitor Calories. Includes the inverse calculation and worked examples.
Convert energyEstimate VO2 max from a maximal 2k test, body weight and training level using Concept2 equations. Includes worked examples and model limits.
Estimate VO2maxCompare rowing and running pace using two illustrative models. Choose the intended effort and work duration before using a substitution.
Compare the pacesThe monitor on a Concept2 ergometer gives the raw result. Turning that result into a useful training target often means hunting through saved spreadsheets or an old message from a coach. A quick search for an "erg pace calculator" should end with a clean answer that works before an early session.
The conversion tools explain the Concept2 formulas they use. Predictions and training suggestions also state their assumptions. Keep calculated results beside real session data, as clubs such as Oundle Town Rowing Club do when reviewing progress. A calculator helps with one result; your club records provide the wider context.
If your boatshed keeps reaching for a calculation that is missing, describe it through the contact form. Suggestions are welcome and help decide what joins this set next.
A single calculator is ideal for one rower checking one piece. Coaches and committee volunteers need the result tied to training, the right athlete and the wider club record. Row HQ is club management software with training, coach and admin features. It handles that shared work while the 13 browser tools remain open to everyone.
Start with regional pricing, then look through training session management, coach tools and the club admin dashboard. See how Oundle Town RC uses Row HQ, or read the spreadsheet comparison before moving club records.
Match the tool to the job. The erg pace calculator changes /500m pace into watts, calories or a finish time. The erg score calculator adds age and bodyweight context. The training pace calculator turns a 2k split into zones and interval targets. Each one opens without a sign-up.
Yes. A club rower, school crew or surf-club athlete can use every calculator without an account or payment. They run inside the browser and use metric rowing distances. Row HQ club management software is a separate product for clubs that need training, coach and admin records together.
Concept2 pace and power follow watts = 2.80 / (split_seconds / 500)^3. The calorie conversion uses kcal/hr = (watts * 4) + 300. Longer and shorter distance estimates use T2 = T1 * (D2 / D1)^1.06. The relevant calculator states which method is being used.
Yes. Any current browser can run the calculators on a phone, tablet or computer. Inputs use metric rowing distances and output erg pace per 500m. There is no account step, so a crew can check a number during training without installing anything.
The public tools solve one calculation for one rower. A club preparing for its regatta season also has training records, coaches and committee work to manage. Row HQ is club management software for those connected jobs. The same calculator set remains free when someone only needs a quick split or score.
The rowing glossary explains the language around these calculations. Read how an ergometer differs from a rowing shell, what makes a scull, and how the main boat types are named. You can also check the meaning of regatta, coxswain and catching a crab.
Choose the rowing calculator that matches your question. A pace calculator converts distance, total time and split time. A score calculator applies a comparison method to a recorded result. A pace predictor estimates a different test distance. Keeping those jobs separate makes the output easier to use in a training session.
Choose a tool from the input you already have. Split time means the time per 500 metres. The pace tool converts split time into finish time; the chart compares that split time across distances. The score tool compares raw and adjusted results. Use a completed test for training targets and keep estimated results labelled as estimates.
| Your question | Start here | Have ready |
|---|---|---|
| What split time do I need? | Erg pace calculator | Distance and total time |
| What power does that split require? | Watts to split converter | Watts or average 500m split |
| How should I compare scores? | Erg score calculator | Raw time, distance and body weight |
| What pace should I train at? | Training pace calculator | A recent 2k test |
| What should the club check before rowing? | Rowing risk assessment | Venue, participants and local controls |
These tools explain their formulas and assumptions on the individual pages. Calculated examples are not official rankings. For a competition comparison, use a current ranking filtered by distance, age group and category, and submit your raw score.
Start a pace calculation in the erg pace calculator then use the result to check your target finish time.
For endurance-based estimates, open the 2k prediction calculator and enter a completed test.
Before an on-water session, review the rowing risk assessment tool with the person responsible for club safety.
