Although predominantly cycling related, this should help dispel some of the myths surrounding the zone 2 saga. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-6DhfMJH84E.

The skierg does allow for a good cardio workout without causing any real fatigue in the legs, depending upon the technique applied. If the correct technique is used then the motion has little effect on the legs. It also significantly improves upper body muscular endurance. I think it would be a good...

Underwater try RowAlong.com. John Steventon created it along with his Facebook and YouTube channel. It’s completely free and you don’t need a PM5. I’ve been doing the 500m plan for a couple of upcoming online events. So far so good. You basically row along to YouTube training sessions. It’s usually ...

A while back now I gave up with RowPro after I bought a new Windows 10 pc, installed RowPro and it failed to load. However very recently I noted that it has been updated to 5.7 and decided to try again. Surprisingly it works and works very well, even online. I have to agree that other than the onlin...

I have the Garmin Forerunner 935 and connect to my Skierg and rowing machine using ErgIQ. It can be installed via the Connect IQ app. I use it in conjunction with ErgData or ErgZone.

Response from RowPro: The main thing that is different about online rowing with RowPro is that the PM is put into what they call Race Mode, which is the mode it needs to be in to do Sit Ready-Attention-Row. From the PM’s perspective that’s a big deal. I’ve opened a discussion with C2 about it. Mmmm....

I bought RowPro a couple of years back. In short I rarely use it, mainly because it doesn’t work well. What I mean is that it is far too time consuming getting the software to do what it’s supposed to do. Regularly losing network connections during on line events, failure of the software to create c...

Already done

Okay, after stating that the problem had been fixed by completing a factory reset of my PM5, I connected today and the error re-emerged. I have also been connecting my Garmin Forerunner 935 to my PM5 via the Connect IQ app ErgIq. This app allows the 935 to connect to the PM5 via the Ant+ IQ option.P...

Just to update you and to assist others who may have the same problem: The problem only occurred during online rows. Everything worked fine until the handle was pulled several times and then the PM5 monitor displayed the error. In an attempt to fix the problem I reinstalled the PM5 firmware but this...

I too have discovered the same error message. Previously no such problem, although there are other more minor issues. I've updated both windows as per their usual updates and the PM 5 firmware. I'll attempt to reinstall the PM 5 firmware and hopefully that will sort it.

Had the same issue. Made contact with Rowpro and was advised to try tethering via my mobile phone. Apparently some network providers don’t recognise the rowpro data connection or something. Using my mobile works and uses little data. All you need do is turn on the personal hotspot on your mobile and...
