Capturing data from Gym rowers
Posted: January 17th, 2016, 5:58 pm
Hi all...newbie alert!
I come from an ultra running and cycling background but due to a persistent ankle problem I started rowing at the end of November to keep my endurance up. Have to say I have enjoyed it more than I thought, particularly learning the technique, and to satisfy my 'how far can I go tendencies' I am looking to build up my distances to marathon and beyond.
At the end of December I had a stab at HM which took me 1:28:40 (OMG my @rse hurt after that) but have persevered and on Saturday I managed 30k in 2:06:50. So I think I am on the right track for a sub 3 hour marathon BUT it's driving me nuts manually logging my rows into Garmin connect. Maybe a stupid question but is it possible to ANT+ connect a Garmin watch to a gym rower so that I can capture the data? If not is there any other way?
Many thanks and apologies if this has been asked before.
