Pacesetter

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When you row a session with preset Pace and SPM targets, sometimes you want a pace boat that rows in accordance with your preset targets. This makes it easy to row to your targets, because all you need to do is stay with the pace boat.

Note: Pacesetter currently only works with Continuous Rows, not Interval Rows.

Setting up a pace boat that matches your targets takes time. To make it easy, RowPro provides a special type of pace boat called a Pacesetter, whose Pace and SPM are linked to the preset Pace and SPM targets associated with the session you are about to row.

To select a Pacesetter:

In Session Setup, select the session you want to row.
In Session Setup / Lanes, click the button for the lane where you want a Pacesetter.
Click the Pacesetter button and click Select.
Session Setup / Lanes will show Pacesetter in the lane you selected.

 

The availability of a Pacesetter depends on the session type selected and the preset targets associated with that session:

Set Piece

Pacesetters are available for Set Piece sessions provided that Pace and SPM targets have been set in the Lanes / Lane 4 / Me Live / Quick Targets panel. This means you need to set these targets in Lane 4 first before you can select a Pacesetter in another lane.

Training

Pacesetters are not available with RowPro training sessions. This is because RowPro training sessions use Heartrate and SPM targets, not Pace targets, and without a Pace target it's impossible to make a Pacesetter.

Custom

Pacesetters are available for Continuous Custom Rows provided that Pace and SPM targets have been preset for that Custom Row in the Custom Row Studio. See the Custom Row Studio Help Topic for details.

Internet

Pacesetters are not available for Online Rowing.

 

When a Pacesetter is not available its button is grayed out and cannot be selected.
