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 splitPut a 2k, 5k or 6k score through bodyweight and age adjustments before the next school, club or masters testing review.
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 sessionSee predicted times across distances from 500m to marathon. Coloured training bands give crews a clear chart for the regatta build.
Open the chartEstimate a 2k from 5k, 6k, 10k or 30-minute work. The confidence range and target plan help frame the next race-pace piece.
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 a Concept2 drag-factor range using weight, experience and goal. The notes separate damper position from actual drag.
Find a settingApply the Concept2 weight adjustment when comparing lightweight and heavyweight 2k performances within a squad.
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 the kilojoule figure on a PM5 into estimated session calories with the Concept2 equation, in either direction.
Convert energyUse 2k time, body weight and sex to estimate VO2max through the Klusiewicz 2016 regression and view rowing benchmarks.
Estimate VO2maxRelate /500m rowing pace to running pace per kilometre or mile. Two methods show a range for land and surf-club crossover work.
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.
Row HQ uses the same calculation methods when clubs review training records. The approach is also in use at Oundle Town Rowing Club. The public page deals with one result at a time. Club software takes over when coaches need to connect those results across crews, training blocks and a full regatta season.

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.
