Convert rowing pace, split and power for indoor rowing.
The concept2 power formula ties watts to the cube of pace, so a small split improvement demands a large power increase. Dropping a two-minute split by five seconds requires roughly ten per cent more power. That cubic relationship is why rowing splits compress at the elite end, and why pacing errors are so expensive.
Rowing Pace
Watts = 2.80 ÷ pace³, where pace is seconds per metre
