Hi, I’ve just set-up a 6 week train to maintain rowing plan. This will be a mental refresh after a couple of years bike only, and to try and unwind the postural impact of that time on the bike.
Can anyone recommend a workflow for getting their athletica planned workout into a Concept 2 rowing machine and then getting the resultant actual workout back into athletica?
I intend using Concept 2 logbook and ErgData app but not stuck on that. In my athletica connections Concept 2 is connected:
but planned workouts in athletica don’t have an obvious way to send to Concept 2. Using “send to Garmin” for bike workout as a reference.
This is what I see:
Hi @PhilB thanks for this question. Our rowing plans are still quite new and as you know, Concept 2, while an amazing piece of equipment, has a terrible software interface that is stuck in the 1990s!
When I use my C2, I also use ErgData on my phone and connect it to the PM5 “wirelessly” I generally the workout steps in my mind or on a piece of paper and run through it that way. I have manually programmed the workout into ErgData, but that is time consuming.
I don’t think we (or anyone else) can send structured workouts to the PM5 directly or to ErgData at the moment, but if you or anyone else knows of a solution, please let us know.
I have just reached out to C2 to see if they have any way for us to send Athletica workouts directly to the PM5 or at least ErgData. I’ll let you know if we make any progress.
Appreciate the feedback Mark. It’s been some years since I’ve rowed so have no real expectations around the software environment. And therefore my starting premise was following a workout in analogue mode.
I’ve had a play with loading a workout into ErgData and can see that would get tedious pretty quickly.
I’d be keen to hear if a solution, either from C2 or elsewhere, does come up so please keep us posted. I’ll do some digging and post back here if I come up with something.
