Coxswain(s) wanted for RiM
Hello fellow rowers and data nerds, I’m Johannes and I’m the guy who’s developed and runs Rowing in Motion. I’m currently looking to put RiM into new hands. I started working on RiM in 2009 after I lost an important race by 2/100s and was looking for a way that could have helped me and
Make 2017 your best rowing season yet
No more hours on the erg! Like most rowers in the northern hemisphere, I’m sure you’re glad that winter season is officially over. With all the time you’ve worked on your strength and endurance in the winter, it’s time to translate it to speed on the water. Rowing in Motion is here to help you
The new Speaking Strokewatch
The very first App we ever released on the AppStore was the SpeakingStrokewatch. This App is a handy little utility I wrote in 2012 for my own coaching, which allows me to tap a big button to measure stroke-rate and have the App read it back to me via text-to-speech. Since we started working on Rowing

The Rowing in Motion Smartphone Mount
Smartphones are a great tool to track your rowing workouts and performance. However, you need to take them with you on the water and attach them to the boat one way or another so that an App (e.g. Rowing in Motion) can use the integrated sensors to capture speed and stroke-rate. Every boat is a bit unique
Analyze your Rowing Workout Log
We recently added Workout Intensity Diagrams to Analytics, that summarize your rowing sessions based on the time and distance the crew worked in different intensity zones. With all the data already in place, the next logical step was to add some features that would allow you to use Analytics as a workout diary or workout log for your
Typical Stroke Speed Normalisation
We have recently implemented an improvement to the typical stroke calculation algorithm that further improves comparability for typical strokes. Before the change, typical strokes sometimes exhibited a change in average stroke speed as seen in the chart below. You can see that for some strokes, the boat speed at beginning and end of the stroke
Workout Intensity Diagrams
It’s summer here on the northern hemisphere and that means the rowing season is well underway. As we train towards the season’s most important competition (be it a regional regatta or the world championships), many training programs increase variation in workout intensity to improve race performance, building on the foundation of long steady-state training sessions in the winter. With Analytics, you
