BoatRun - User Guide

⌂ HomeContentsTroubleshootingQuick Start

One native app for rowing, coxing, coaching and erging. Two web tools for afterwards.

BoatRun is downloaded from the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android. Both are the same app with the same features. The Analyser and Viewer are web pages you bookmark, on any device. The app and the Analyser share everything through your own Google Drive - see Signing in, Drive and sync.

1. Getting started and where things are

New to BoatRun? Start with the Quick Start. It walks you through installing the app, signing in and recording your first session, for whichever role you are - Row, Cox, Erg or Coach. About five minutes, no settings to change.

This guide is the full reference. The first five sections set you up; after that each section covers one feature. If something isn't working, go straight to Troubleshooting.

Your first session, in order

1. Install the app and pick your role on the launch screen - Roles.
2. Sign in and link Google Drive - Signing in, Drive and sync.
3. Mount the phone flat, facing the stern - Mounting the phone.
4. Connect anything you need with the chips at the top of the LIVE screen, then press Start - The live screen and Recording a session.
5. Finish, name the session, and it backs itself up - Session log.

Where things are

The tab bar runs along the bottom in portrait and down the left side in landscape. The live tabs are for rowing; HOME holds everything else.

Coach role has its own tabs - COACH, SQUAD, INTERVALS and HOME - see Coach mode. Simple mode hides DISPLAY, WORKOUTS, MAP and WORKOUT - see Simple and Advanced.

---

2. Signing in, Drive and sync CHANGED

Signing in is two short steps, and the app walks you through both. Tap Sign in at the top right of HOME, or the SIGN IN · STEP 1 OF 2 button on the launch screen.

1. Step 1 - your BoatRun account. Continue with Apple or Continue with Google. This is who you are. It carries your plan between your phone, a new phone and the Analyser, and anchors your free trial so reinstalling doesn't restart it.
2. Step 2 - link Google Drive. Offered straight after step 1; the button reads LINK DRIVE · STEP 2 OF 2 until it's done. This is where your files go - a private, hidden folder in your own Google Drive.

When both are done the button reads Drive linked. Tap it any time to open Account & Plan: your account, the linked Apple / Google sign-ins, Sign out, and a Google Drive section with Sync now and Unlink Drive.

Why both

• Without the account a subscription bought on your phone stays on that phone, and the Analyser won't recognise it.
• Without Drive nothing syncs. Sessions live only on the phone, there is no backup, nothing comes back on a new phone, and templates, workouts, sectors and lines can't move between the app and the Analyser.

Apple and Google

Signing in with Google and with Apple separately creates two different accounts, because your Apple ID and Google account almost certainly use different email addresses. Use the same one on every device. Once signed in, Account & Plan offers Link Apple account or Link Google account - one tap, and it's a spare key to the same account. Apple sign-in isn't offered on Android.

What syncs through Drive

Everything below is shared automatically between the app, the Analyser and any other phone signed in to the same account. There is nothing to export or import. Make a change in one place and it turns up in the other.

What stays on the phone

Your On Water and Ergometer grid layouts, which templates are armed, hazard WARN switches, warning and alert distances, power mode, text size, timeouts, display mode, surge axis and the last calibration. These are about this phone and this mount, so they don't follow you.

What comes from somewhere else

• Club lines - from your club's code, read-only. See Club lines.
• Squad plan - from the squad you follow. See Calendar.
• Courses - read live from boatrun.au. See Sectors and courses.

When it syncs

• Changes you make go up straight away. If you're offline they wait and go when you have signal.
• The app pulls changes at launch, when you come back to it, and when you open the Log - no more than every 5 minutes, and never while you're recording.
• The Analyser pulls when it opens. ↻ Sync with app on its start page fetches straight away.
• Every finished session uploads by itself. On a new phone, sign in and link Drive and your sessions come back on their own. You never need to sync by hand. Sync now (Drive linked → Account & Plan) is only there for when something you expect hasn't arrived.

Strava

Strava is linked separately in SETTINGS → STRAVA SYNC (Pro). Every session uploads after you finish. If your Garmin watch also uploads the row to Strava, tick Garmin watch also uploads to Strava and BoatRun adds its data to the Garmin activity instead of making a duplicate.

---

3. Basic, Pro and Coach

Free trial

Every new install gets 30 days of everything - Pro and Coach, granted by the app. No card, nothing to cancel. The launch screen counts down the days. Sign in and the start date is kept with your account, so reinstalling doesn't restart it.

When it expires, you drop to Basic. Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked away - all your recorded sessions, exports and raw data stay fully accessible.

What Basic gives you

• Pace, Stroke Rate, DPS and Heart Rate tiles, plus every time, distance and average tile
• 20 minute recording limit per session - a warning with 2 minutes left, then the session finishes and saves itself
• Full session log and calendar, full Drive backup
• Every export - JSON, CSV, TCX and FIT - always free
• Join a squad with a code
• Analyser single-session analysis, and the Viewer, always free

Raw data is never held hostage. If you recorded it, you can export it.

What Pro adds

Unlimited recording, every stroke metric, the live stroke curve on the water and the erg, stroke templates, custom workouts and planning them on your calendar, sectors and courses with live PB racing, lanes, dividers and hazard warnings including club lines, the Navigation tile, squad erg racing, and automatic Strava sync.

On the same account it also unlocks the Analyser: multi-session comparison, the video overlay, opening a whole squad at once, and building stroke templates.

What Coach adds

Coach includes Pro, so you don't buy both. It adds squad codes with QR and password, the live squad map and rower tiles, the SQUAD race view, rower detail with live curve, REQUEST CURVE, LAP ALL BOATS, pushing workouts and templates to the squad, the squad training calendar, squad erg races with a synchronised start, in-app video tagged to a rower, and collating every rower's session. Rowers join free with the code - one Coach subscription covers the squad. See Coach mode.

The three levels side by side

One subscription covers the app and the Analyser on the same account. Monthly or yearly. Buy it from Account & Plan → GET PRO or GET COACH. Club and school seats can also be bought in bulk at Club Packs and redeemed with a code; a club seat shows its expiry date in Account & Plan.

Locked tiles show PRO - Upgrade to unlock rather than disappearing, so you can see what you're missing.

Plan level

Account & Plan has a BASIC / PRO / COACH picker that sets which plan the app behaves as.

• During the free trial every level is open - pick any one to see exactly how the app looks on that plan before you buy.
• After the trial you can step down at any time, but never above what you pay for. A coach who wants the rower screens can step down to PRO without cancelling anything.

---

4. Roles, Simple and Advanced

One app, four modes. Picked on the launch screen, changeable in HOME → SETTINGS → ROLE. You cannot change role while a recording is running - stop first.

Row, Cox and Erg all broadcast to a squad if connected. Coach receives. A coach who wants to row picks ERG (or ROW) like anyone else - the Coach plan still gives them the squad workout and squad start buttons on the erg.

Simple and Advanced

ADVANCED is the full app described in this guide, and is what new installs start in. SIMPLE is a stripped-back version:

• Pace, Rate, DPS and HR tiles. In portrait two more tiles sit underneath - time of day and average pace to start with. Every tile can still be changed on the live screen.
• No stroke-analysis tiles, stroke templates, workouts or Navigation tile.
• No DISPLAY or WORKOUTS tab on HOME, and no MAP, WORKOUT or SQUAD tab.
• Only the ♥ HR chip and Start before you row. On the erg, Simple adds Load Workout and Connect Erg.

Switch in HOME → DISPLAY → Screen Settings → DISPLAY MODE. While you're in Simple the DISPLAY tab is hidden, so the switch also sits at the top of HOME → SETTINGS. Coach role always uses Advanced. Your recorded data is identical in both.

---

5. Mounting the phone CHANGED

Orientation

Portrait or landscape both work. What matters is that the phone is flat, screen up, facing the stern (toward the rower), and rigidly attached to the hull. Newer phones (iPhone 15 and newer, and most recent flagship Android handsets) have dual-band GPS, which tracks noticeably better. Signal reflected off water, carbon fibre and metal fittings degrades GPS; a rubber foam mat under the mount helps, particularly on older phones.

• Portrait - the app uses the Y axis for surge
• Landscape - the app uses the X axis for surge

The surge axis is set to AUTO: it follows the screen, and switches if you rotate the phone. You don't have to tell it anything. Only if the AX pill reads wrong, force it in SETTINGS → SYSTEM SETTINGS → SURGE AXIS (LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT).

In landscape, if the phone is turned the wrong way round the app shows ⚠ FLIP PHONE 180° across the top. Turn it round.

Calibration - automatic

There is no calibration step. From the moment the app opens it keeps a record of the phone's movement. When you press Start it picks the quietest 8 seconds of the last minute and uses them to set the stroke-detection threshold, the mount angle and the rowing axis. It fine-tunes again when you start rowing, and at every stop (no strokes for 15 seconds and nearly stationary).

• For the best start: mount the phone, sit still for a few seconds, then press Start.
• If the boat was never still (the crew was already paddling), it uses the last good calibration from this phone, or sensible defaults, and corrects itself at your first stop.
• Moved the phone, changed its angle or switched boats? Nothing to do - just sit still for a few seconds before Start.

Tilt

Flat is best. The app compensates for mount angle, but less reliably the further you go.

• 0–10° - no meaningful loss of accuracy
• 10–30° - works, accuracy degrades gradually
• Over 30° - not supported; the surge signal gets mixed with heave and metrics become unreliable

Cox mode

In Cox role the phone faces the bow instead of the stern. If you forget to select Cox, the giveaway is an unusual stroke curve like this one.

Position in the boat

Closest to the rigger gives the strongest stroke signal. Anywhere rigid is workable. What ruins it is a mount that flexes or rocks - any movement between phone and hull corrupts every accelerometer metric, and a mount that wobbles near stroke frequency corrupts stroke ratio and Stroke Char in particular.

---

6. The live screen

The pre-start chips

Before you press Start, the top of the LIVE screen shows a row of chips - each one a thing you might want connected before you push off. Tap a chip to set it up.

Press Start with an amber chip and the buttons along the bottom swap to that connect button plus Start Anyway, so nothing covers your tiles. Once you start, the chips make way for the time of day, distance and workout step. Tap the time or the distance to choose what each one shows.

The status pills

Top left, in portrait or landscape:

Top right are the power button (see Power and battery), the LOCKED / UNLOCKED tile lock, and the REC light while you are recording.

The tabs

LIVE

Your tile grid. Change a tile right here - tap it while the tile lock reads UNLOCKED, or hold it while recording. Whole grids are set up in DISPLAY.

CURVE (Pro)

The acceleration curve for one full stroke, catch to catch. Last stroke in blue, 5-stroke rolling average in orange. Green fill above zero acceleration, red below. Three figures sit on the curve, each a 5-stroke rolling median:

• Drive Accel, top left - peak acceleration during the drive
• Recovery Accel, top right - peak acceleration during the recovery
• Catch Accel, bottom, a third of the way in - peak deceleration at the catch. This one reads negative

Four tiles underneath - tap each to choose its metric. TEMPLATES at the top and the coloured pills in the corner are your stroke templates - see Stroke templates.

MAP

Where you are. The map turns to match your heading, shows your squad if you're connected, and draws your sectors, lanes, dividers and hazards. Tiles sit underneath in portrait, and beside it in landscape - tap any one to change it. Choose the landscape arrangement in DISPLAY → Map Display. SAT / MAP switches between satellite and street.

Offline maps. Every map tile you look at is kept on the phone, so water you have viewed before still has a map with no signal. Tiles older than 30 days refresh by themselves when you have signal. To get a new stretch of water ready, open the map over it once with signal. There is no bulk download - the map providers don't allow it.

Near a lane or divider a readout box shows the distance and an arrow to it - top right in Row, bottom right in Cox. See Lanes on the water.

WORKOUT

The workout's steps and per-interval results as you complete them. (This tab used to be called INTERVALS.) On the erg it becomes a workout board - see Erg mode. WORK ONLY hides warmup, rest and cooldown rows.

---

7. Recording a session

Starting - when the clock actually begins

Pressing START puts the app in a ready state rather than starting the clock, so time spent tied up or backing down doesn't land in your session. Three things release it, whichever comes first:

• You move about 20 metres from where you pressed START.
• You pick up speed - two GPS readings above walking pace.
• You take two strokes. The quickest, and the only one that backdates the clock a couple of seconds so the first stroke belongs to the session.

Laps

Tap LAP to mark a split. Each lap records time, distance, pace, rate and HR.

Ready mode

Press LAP READY while sitting at the start. The previous lap closes; the new one does not begin. It starts on its own after two strokes at a real rate, backdated about 2 seconds. A single bump won't trigger it. Press the green READY button to start the lap immediately instead.

The lap summary

After each lap a card shows the lap's time, distance, pace and rate. A green bar counts down until it closes.

• Tap the card to close it early.
• Drag the round handle on the bar to change how long it stays up - the full bar is one minute, and where you drop it becomes the new timeout.
• Or set it in DISPLAY → Screen Settings → LAP SUMMARY TIMEOUT, 0–60 seconds (default 6). 0 turns the summary off.

The sector result card works the same way - see Sectors and courses.

Protecting the screen from splashes

Use the LOCK button to stop water changing screens. You'll need to unlock to press LAP, change tabs or finish. For more protection, use Guided Access on iPhone (triple-click the side button) or Screen Pinning on Android.

Stopping and finishing

STOP pauses, RESUME continues, FINISH ends and saves. Name the session, or tap NO NAME.

Boat type - the save prompt also asks which boat: 1x, 2-, 2x, 4+, 4-, 4x or 8+, plus MIXED for a mixed crew and COASTAL BOAT for a coastal shell. Your last choice is kept for next time, including for sessions that finish themselves. Change it later from the session detail, or in the Analyser. The Log and the Analyser can filter by boat, so you can find, say, every coastal 2x or mixed 8+. Erg sessions have no boat type.

The app autosaves regularly; if it closes mid-session (battery, crash, anything) the recording is recovered next time you open it.

---

8. Display: layouts and tiles CHANGED

Where: HOME → DISPLAY (Advanced only - hidden in Simple and in Coach role)

DISPLAY is laid out as six big buttons. Tap one to open it underneath; tap again to close. Only one is open at a time.

On Water and Ergometer layouts

There is now one on-water layout and one erg layout - no named profiles to switch between. Each holds a separate grid for LANDSCAPE and PORTRAIT; rotate the phone and the grid swaps. The erg layout only offers tiles the PM5 can feed.

1. Tap On Water Layout or Ergometer Layout.
2. Pick a grid size for each orientation.
3. Tap a box in the preview and choose its metric from the list.

Grid sizes - landscape: 3×3, 3×2, 2×2, 2×1, 1. Portrait: 2×4, 2×3, 2×2, 1×2, 1.

You can also change any tile on the LIVE screen itself: unlock the tile lock and tap a tile, or hold a tile while recording. Changes made there show in DISPLAY too.

Starting layouts

The tile list

Every tile picker - in DISPLAY, on the LIVE grid, under the curve and on the map - uses the same list, grouped by colour. Pairs sit side by side, so a live figure and its last-lap version are next to each other.

The Workout / Sector tile shows the current workout step, or the armed sector - see Sectors. The Navigation tile shows the same lane, divider and hazard readout as the map, on whatever tab you're on - see Lanes on the water. METRIC DEFINITIONS at the bottom of SETTINGS explains every metric; so does the Metrics reference.

Map Display

Chooses how the MAP tab is arranged when the phone is in landscape. Portrait always shows the map with four tiles underneath.

The map's tiles are shared with the CURVE tab's four tiles; tiles 5 and 6 only appear on the landscape map layouts. Tap a tile on the map screen to change it.

Screen Settings

Units, clock, surge axis and target beeps are in SETTINGS → SYSTEM SETTINGS - see Settings reference.

---

9. Stroke templates (Pro) CHANGED

A stroke template is a target stroke shape built from your own best strokes. It is drawn as a dashed line behind your live curve, continuously re-timed to whatever rate you're rowing, so you can see straight away where your stroke differs from the one you want.

The workflow: build it in the Analyser → tap Save → it arrives on your phone by itself → arm it → tap its pill on the curve. No files to move.

1. Build it in the Analyser

You need a session with steady pieces at the rates you want - for example a rate ladder at 18, 22, 26, 30 and 34. The Analyser and the phone must be signed in to the same account with Drive linked.

1. Open the session. In the Curve Comparison pane, open the STROKE TEMPLATE drop-down and choose ＋ New template…. The Create / Edit Stroke Template panel opens. Type a name.
2. Add a rate. Tap the yellow ＋ Select strokes on the chart. The panel closes and a yellow bar across the top shows the template's name and the rates it has so far. On the Stroke Chart, drag across at least 3 steady strokes at one rate, then tap ＋ Add to template · 24.0 spm (it shows the rate of what you selected).
3. Repeat for each rate you want - for example 20, 24, 28 and 32. Adding a rate within a quarter of a stroke of one already in the template replaces it. Tap Done on the yellow bar to go back to the panel.
4. Check the rates. The panel lists each rate with its drive % and stroke count. × removes one. Already pinned some curve groups? Or add a curve group you already pinned lets you add those instead.
5. Preview. Drag the PREVIEW AT … SPM slider. Grey is the curves you recorded, purple is what the phone will draw at that rate, green dashed is the finish. Above your highest rate the drive is held at its recorded length and only the recovery shortens.
6. Save. Tap Save (it changes to Saved ✓). The template goes to your Drive and appears on your phone the next time the app syncs - straight away when you next open the app.

• On-water and erg never mix. A template takes the kind of the first strokes you add - accelerometer curves from a boat, or PM5 force curves from an erg.
• The STROKE TEMPLATE drop-down lists every template open here and every one already on your phone (through Drive), plus Open template file… and ＋ New template…. Pick one to make it the active template. Edit reopens the panel; Close puts it away. "· unsaved" means changes not yet saved.
• Check it against a curve: pin a curve group (drag a selection, ＋ Add to curves), then tap its pill to show that curve on its own with the active template drawn over it at the same rate. Tap the pill again, or Show all curves, to go back.
• With several templates open, the panel's EDITING row shows them; the yellow one is the one you're editing.
• Export file saves a template file to send to someone. Delete removes the template from the phone too.
• Not signed in to Drive? Save downloads a template file instead, which you can import on the phone.
• Open template file… opens a file someone has sent you. If you're signed in to Drive it is sent to your phone as well.
• Creating templates needs Pro. Coach accounts can open and view them.

2. On the phone

Where: HOME → DISPLAY → Stroke templates

Templates that have arrived are listed under ON-WATER and ERG, each headed with how many are armed (for example 2/3 ARMED). Each row shows the rates it covers and its size.

• Tap a template to arm or release it. Up to three on-water and three erg can be armed, kept separately. Each armed one gets its own colour.
• ✎ renames it; × deletes it. Both sync back to the Analyser and your other phones.
• IMPORT TEMPLATE… adds a template file someone has sent you. It then syncs like any other.
• The total size on the phone is shown underneath; it turns orange when it's getting large - delete ones you don't use.

3. On the curve

Each armed template is a coloured pill in the bottom-right corner of the CURVE tab. Tap a pill to draw that template, tap again to take it off. The dashed line is the same colour as its pill. TEMPLATES at the top of the curve opens the same arm/release list without leaving the curve. Only the matching kind is ever drawn: on-water templates on the Row and Cox curve, erg force templates on the Erg curve.

Templates from your coach

If you're connected to a squad, your coach can push a template to your phone. It arrives as an extra purple pill labelled COACH and takes over while it's there. Tap it off if you don't want it - your coach sees that you've hidden it. Leaving the squad removes it.

Templates are boat-class specific. A single scull template means nothing in a quad or an eight. Build one per boat class.

---

10. Heart rate

BoatRun connects directly to a Bluetooth heart rate strap - Polar H10, Garmin HRM, Wahoo, anything speaking standard BLE heart rate. Connect it with the ♥ HR chip on the live screen (or Connect HR at the bottom). That is the only place to pair it.

Connect before you press Start. Once the app knows the strap it reconnects automatically on later sessions, but do the first pairing on dry land.

HR appears as its own tile with a zone bar, is recorded into the session, exports in TCX and FIT, and charts in the session detail and the Analyser.

Zones are set in SETTINGS → HR ZONES: max HR, LTHR, resting HR and age, then a model - Friel/Coggan LTHR zones, percentage of max HR, or age-predicted. They sync through Drive to the Analyser.

On the erg, pair the strap to the PM5 instead - see Erg mode.

---

11. Power and battery

The button at the top right of every live and coach screen cycles through three power modes. Tap it to step to the next.

Only the display is slowed. Sensors, stroke detection, GPS, recording, lap timing and every alert - including hazard warnings - run exactly as normal in all three modes.

The choice is remembered. Erg keeps its own setting; Row, Cox and Coach share one.

Overheating

On iPhone, if the phone reports it is overheating in the sun, a ⚠ PHONE OVERHEATING banner counts down 15 seconds before switching to the dark screen, which makes far less heat than white at full brightness. DARK NOW switches straight away; CANCEL stays light. If it gets very hot the graphs also slow down. The light screen comes back by itself once the phone cools.

Battery tips

• A squad link uses the most battery of anything. Leave it disconnected unless your coach needs you live - you can still Send to squad from the log afterwards.
• Screen brightness is the next biggest drain. Turn it down, or use SAVER.
• Start long sessions at full charge, and carry a battery pack for long mornings.

---

12. Workouts (Pro)

Where: HOME → WORKOUTS, the WORKOUT chip, and the Analyser

On-water and erg are two separate sets

Every workout belongs to one venue or the other, and you only see the set that matches what you're doing. Erg ones carry a red ERG badge. Coach mode sees both and switches with ON WATER / ERG. Drag the grip on a card to reorder your list.

Workouts sync through Drive: build or edit one in the Analyser on a big screen and it's in the app's list; build one on the phone and it's in the Analyser.

If a workout is planned for today it shows at the top of the list with a green LOAD button. Workouts copied from a squad plan carry a small yellow dot.

Built in

Race 1000m - open warmup until LAP pressed → 1000m work → open cooldown until you press STOP.

Baseline: Rate Ladder - open warmup → 4 × [1 min 24, 1 min 26, 1 min 28, 1 min 30, 4 min rest] → open cooldown. The last rest is skipped.

Erg: 6 × 500m / 3min - the erg-set default, pushed straight to the PM5.

Building your own

+ NEW WORKOUT → name it → add steps with the coloured buttons underneath.

Notes - an optional box under the name. Whatever you write (or your coach writes) shows when the workout is loaded, and stays available from the 📝 NOTE pill on the live screen.

An on-water workout always opens with a WARMUP and ends with a COOLDOWN. Erg workouts have neither.

Every value can be nudged with − and + or typed straight in - m:ss for times, plain metres for distances. ▲▼ move a step; × deletes it.

Start - one choice for the whole workout

Repeats

Tick two or more adjacent steps and ↻ REPEATS appears. Give it a count and they become a repeat block. Tick Skip last rest if you don't want the final rest (on-water only).

Loading one from the live screen

The WORKOUT chip opens LOAD WORKOUT: a straight distance, a straight time, a set of identical intervals with rest, or a list of different intervals - plus your saved workouts, each with a green LOAD button. Give a quick one a name to save it, or leave the name blank to run it once. In Coach mode the button reads SEND TO SQUAD.

During the workout

The workout step and the time or distance remaining show across the top of the live screen, on the Workout tile, and on your coach's screen. END beside the step stops the workout without stopping the session. A 5-second countdown with a tone comes before each work interval (phone volume up and off silent), and a lap summary appears at the end of each one.

Target colours and beeps

In a work step with a rate or pace target, the Rate and Pace tiles turn green on target, amber when close and red when off. After 5 seconds in the red it beeps:

• Rate - short beeps. Pace - long tones.
• Two high - rate too high, or pace too fast. One low - rate too low, or pace too slow.

Turn the beeps off in SETTINGS → SYSTEM SETTINGS → WORKOUT TARGET BEEPS. The colours stay.

---

13. Calendar and planning CHANGED

Where: HOME → LOG → CALENDAR, and the Analyser start page

The calendar

• Every session sits on its day - blue dots for on-water, red for erg, a star on favourites.
• Planned workouts show alongside. Ones from a squad coach carry a yellow dot.
• ‹ › move a month, TODAY comes back, and tapping the month name jumps to any month or year.
• Tap a day to see its sessions and its plan underneath. Tap a session to open it.
• Which day the week starts on is set in SETTINGS → SYSTEM SETTINGS → CALENDAR WEEK STARTS. The Analyser follows it.

Planning a day (Pro)

Tap a day, then + ON-WATER or + ERG to add one of your workouts to it (or make a new one from the picker). You can also add a note, an event or another kind of workout. DETAILS shows a planned workout with EDIT; COMPLETE? ticks an item off; swipe left to remove. Planning is easier still on the Analyser's calendar - it's the same plan, shared through Drive. See Analyser: calendar and planning.

On the day, when you open the app, a SUGGESTED WORKOUT card pops up with a LOAD button for each workout planned for today. Tap one, or NOT NOW. It only offers on-water workouts when you're rowing and erg workouts when you're on the erg, and never pops up mid-session.

Calendar settings - the ⚙ button

The ⚙ at the top of the Log calendar opens Calendar settings, with two parts.

Squad plan (Pro)

Your coach can plan the squad's training on a squad calendar. Tap FOLLOW A SQUAD PLAN and pick the squad from your recent codes, or type the code. CHANGE picks a different squad; STOP stops following (workouts already copied stay).

The coach's plan, from today on, is copied into your calendar when the app opens and every 30 minutes after that. Days the coach changes are brought into line; your own planned workouts on those days are left alone. You don't need to be connected to the squad - it doesn't use the live link or its battery, and it doesn't have to be the squad you row with live.

Phone calendar

Tap SYNC TO PHONE CALENDAR and pick a calendar on the phone.

• Planned workouts become all-day events. Completed sessions become timed events with a link that opens the session in the Analyser.
• Pick your Google calendar and they appear in Google Calendar too. (On iPhone, if none is listed, add your Google account in the iPhone Settings app under Calendar → Accounts.)
• SYNC COMPLETED EVENTS and SYNC PLANNED EVENTS switch each half on or off. CHANGE CALENDAR moves them.
• It's one-way: BoatRun owns these events and keeps them up to date. STOP SYNCING CALENDARS removes them.

Planning for a squad (Coach)

In the Analyser, switch the calendar from Mine to Squad, enter the squad code, and plan the squad's days with your workouts. Every rower following that squad gets the update. For a longer block, 🗓 Planning opens a bigger planning window. See Analyser: calendar and planning.

---

14. Sectors and courses (Pro)

Where: HOME → SECTORS (SECTORS and COURSES), and the Analyser

A sector is a timed stretch of water between a start line and a finish line. Row through it on any session and BoatRun times you automatically, keeps your PB, and races you against it live.

Getting sectors

• Make your own in the Analyser - ✎ Draw it straight on a satellite map, or open a session and use ＋ Create Sector to pick a start and a finish on the track you rowed. Create, edit and delete sectors in the Analyser; they arrive on the phone through Drive. See Analyser: sectors.
• Download a course - SECTORS → COURSES lists ready-made courses from boatrun.au, by area, on a map. DOWNLOAD adds it to your sectors (you must be signed in with Drive linked). The list is read live from the website, so new courses appear without an app update. Browse them on the Courses page too.
• Import sector file - at the top of the SECTORS list, for a file someone has shared.

Some areas on the COURSES list also carry the Lanes & hazards for that water, shown in their own card with an ADD button. Downloading a course that carries lines adds them to your lines automatically. See Lanes, dividers and hazards.

The SECTORS list

• Show live sectors - switches the ARM / SKIP pop-up and live sector times on or off.
• Each sector shows your best. Tap it for its PB and results, and a map.
• PRE-ARM - see below.
• Swipe a sector left to DELETE it - from the phone and the Analyser. Needs Drive.

Rowing a sector

1. Row towards the start, heading the right way. As you approach, a pop-up asks ARM or SKIP.
2. Once armed, the Workout / Sector tile becomes the sector tile: metres to the start on top, your PB in the middle, the sector name at the bottom.
3. Cross the start line - a trill sounds and the clock starts. The middle line now shows metres ahead or behind your PB; the top shows metres to the finish, measured along the reference line.
4. Cross the finish - another trill, and the result card shows your time and how it compares.

Pre-arm - tap PRE-ARM on a sector before you go. It then arms itself every time you approach the start (no pop-up), and re-arms if you turn round behind the start line. Ideal for hands-free head racing and repeat pieces.

Sectors are never shown while a workout is running. If you wander too far off the line, stop for too long or turn back, the attempt is dropped as off-track.

The result card

Stays up for the time set in DISPLAY → Screen Settings → SECTOR RESULT TIMEOUT, 0–60 seconds (default 10). 0 turns it off. Tap CLOSE to close it early, or drag the handle on its countdown bar to set a new timeout, exactly like the lap summary.

Afterwards

Every attempt is kept with the sector. A session's detail lists the sectors you rowed through with time, pace, rate and PB. The Analyser lists your sector times for each session with your best, and plays two attempts back side by side on the track from the start-line crossing. Changing a sector's course clears its results; the Analyser then offers to re-time your past sessions (Scan all).

15. Lanes, dividers and hazards (Pro) CHANGED

Where: HOME → DISPLAY → Hazards & Lanes, and the Analyser start page

Mark your river's traffic lanes, keep-clear dividers and hazards once. BoatRun draws them on your map and the coach map, shows how far you are from the nearest one, and warns you before you hit something. They are not timed.

The Hazards & Lanes screen, top to bottom

1. HAZARD WARNING DISTANCE - 8, 10, 15 or 20 m (default 10).
2. ALL HAZARDS - SHOW ALL / HIDE ALL and WARN ALL / NO WARNINGS, for your own and your club's hazards at once.
3. OFF-LINE ALERT - OFF, 5, 10, 20 or 30 m (default 10), for lanes and dividers.
4. + HAZARD, + LANE, + DIVIDER and IMPORT. SHARE ALL appears once you have two or more lines.
5. CLUB LINES - see Club lines.
6. Your lines, one card each.

Drawing a line

Tap + HAZARD, + LANE or + DIVIDER. A full-screen map opens.

• Tap the map to add points, in order. The first point is green and the last red.
• Lane - draw it in the direction you row it; the arrows follow your order.
• Hazard - one tap for a point (a post, a buoy), more taps for a line (a sandbank, a wall).
• UNDO removes the last point, CLEAR removes them all, SAT / MAP switches imagery. Pinch to zoom. Your other lines are shown faintly for reference.
• Type a name and tap SAVE.

Easier on a computer. The Analyser draws on a big, sharper satellite map, lets you drag points, can trace a line from a session's GPS track, and can save straight to your club. See Analyser: lanes and hazards.

Each line's card

Warning distances and zones

Two separate distances decide when you're warned. Neither is shown as a number on the water - they decide when the readout turns red and when the beeps start.

Why the hazard minimum is 8 m: blade tips reach about 2.8 m (sculling) to 3.5 m (sweep) from the phone on the centreline, and phone GPS is typically 3–5 m out. Use 15 or 20 m near trees, banks or bridges, in sweep boats, or for beginners. The red zone on the map grows and shrinks with the setting, so you can see exactly how much room you're giving yourself.

On the water

There are three places you see your lines while rowing. None of them work in Erg or Coach role (the coach map still draws the lines).

Lanes and dividers

Within 150 m of a lane or divider the readout appears, with an arrow pointing at the line as it sits on the map on your screen.

• Blue - nearest line is a lane. Grey - nearest is a divider.
• ON LANE - within 3 m of the lane, going the right way.
• WRONG WAY - on a lane, going against its arrows.
• Red with a yellow border - outside your off-line alert distance.

Off-line beeps - while recording and moving, BoatRun beeps every 3 seconds when you're too far off a lane or too close to a divider: two beeps normally, three if you're going the wrong way. Divider beeps are higher pitched than lane beeps.

Hazards

Whenever the boat is moving faster than walking pace - recording or not - BoatRun projects your course 10 seconds ahead. If that course passes within your hazard warning distance of a shown, warning hazard:

• The orange ⚠ HAZARD card appears with a large arrow, the distance in metres, the seconds to it, and its name.
• The map readout and Navigation tile turn orange with the same distance and seconds.
• The phone vibrates, and four rapid high beeps sound every 2 seconds until you're clear.

Hazard warnings take priority over the lane readout.

Reading the arrow - phone facing the stern. The warning card's arrow is drawn as you, the rower, see it: down = ahead of the boat (behind you), left = starboard, right = port. The map readout's arrow instead points at the hazard as it sits on the map. Turn the volume up and take the phone off silent - the beeps are the warning you'll actually notice.

Club lines

Your club can publish one shared set of lanes, dividers and hazards under a club code. The club's editors draw and manage them in the Analyser - see Managing club lines. To get them on your phone, type the club code into CLUB LINES and tap FOLLOW. Following needs no password.

• The club's lines appear alongside your own, and update automatically (checked every 5 minutes) whenever the club changes them. A toast tells you when they've changed.
• Hide any single club line with SHOWN / HIDDEN, and switch club hazards' warnings with WARN / NO WARN.
• REFRESH fetches the latest now; LEAVE stops following.
• Club lines are read-only on your phone - your own lines stay yours. The code you follow syncs to your other phones.
• The phone follows one club at a time.

Syncing and sharing

• Your own lines sync through Drive to the Analyser and your other phones. Warning distances and WARN switches stay on this phone.
• SHARE / SHARE ALL make a line file to send to someone. IMPORT adds the lines from a file, skipping any you already have. The Analyser's Share and Import use the same files.
• Courses can carry lines - see Sectors and courses. A course file is built in the Analyser with Course file.

Lines are an aid, not a lookout - read Limitations and warnings.

16. Erg mode

BoatRun talks to a Concept2 PM5 over Bluetooth. The phone is a second screen and a recorder - it is not measuring anything itself. No GPS, no accelerometer, no calibration. Every number comes off the monitor.

Governing principle: wherever the PM5 supplies a value, BoatRun displays it as-is. If your erg screen and phone screen disagree, that is a bug worth reporting.

Connecting

CONNECT ERG on the erg live screen, or HOME → SETTINGS → ERGOMETER (CONCEPT2 PM5) → CONNECT TO ERG.

1. Wake the PM5 first - press any key or take a stroke. A sleeping monitor won't be found.
2. Tap CONNECT TO ERG and pick your PM5.
3. Once connected the PM5 pill turns green and the drag factor (DF) shows in the header.

Heart rate - pair the strap to the erg, not the phone

On the erg go to Menu → More Options → Utilities → Heart Rate and select your strap there. BoatRun reads heart rate through the erg, and the ♥ HR chip turns green. Once the PM5 has seen your belt, BoatRun asks the erg to re-pair it on later connects.

What's on screen

Distance follows your km/mi setting, with erg km shown to three decimals so every metre counts. Erg tiles are instantaneous values; cumulative and averaged figures (average pace, splits, projections) are in the time and distance groups of the tile list. Set the grid in DISPLAY → Ergometer Layout.

The CURVE tab on the erg

The PM5's own drive force curve, drive phase only, in newtons, drawn along the handle travel in metres. It starts from 0 N at the catch.

• Steady scale. The force scale only moves in whole steps and holds for about 10 strokes, so you can see your power rise and fall from stroke to stroke. It comes back down after about 10 lighter strokes, for example after a very hard start.
• Three big figures - PEAK FORCE (N), PEAK AT (where peak force lands, as % of the stroke - the Stroke Char) and STROKE LENGTH (m) along the bottom.

Erg templates draw over it - see Stroke templates. Force curves are read from the PM5 every stroke while the CURVE tab is open, and at least every couple of seconds in the background so they're saved with the session.

Workouts

Load a workout with the WORKOUT chip and it is pushed onto the monitor. From then on the PM5 owns the timing. Workouts programmed on the erg itself are read back and tracked in INTERVALS.

Limitation: a new workout programmed on the erg is only picked up once the monitor is back at its ready state.

The WORKOUT tab - workout board

The PM5 already shows your numbers, so on the erg the WORKOUT tab is a board you can read from the seat. It shows which rep you're on and how much is TO GO, your REP SPLIT against the target, your RATE, and a list of the reps you've done with their splits. During a rest it shows the REST countdown and your LAST REP. With no workout loaded it shows the piece you're rowing.

Finishing an erg session

The PM5 runs the session: it starts when you row and ends when you finish the workout or press the erg's menu key. There's no Start or Finish button to press.

If you walk away without finishing on the erg (in Just Row, for example), the PM5 never says the workout is over. So:

• Finish Session appears once you've taken no strokes for 15 seconds, the erg stops sending data, or it disconnects.
• The session saves itself after 3 minutes with no strokes (10 minutes if you're in an interval rest), or 2 minutes after the PM5 disconnects. The idle time at the end is included.
• After a finish, only a real stroke starts the next session - an idle erg won't start one by itself.

The SQUAD tab - racing

Join a squad with the SQUAD chip. A SQUAD tab then appears. Joining a squad race needs Pro; setting one up needs Coach.

1. Warm up however you like, then press menu to finish your warmup. You MUST be on the MENU to receive the workout.
2. Your phone shows WORKOUT LOADED.
3. The coach starts everyone together with a count-in.

During the race the SQUAD tab shows a simulated track with every rower's boat, name, pace, rate and gap in metres. Tap your own name to hide yourself (you also lose sight of their gaps; the coach still sees everything). A− / A+ change the text size.

A rower on the Coach plan can run the race from their own erg with the SQUAD WKT chip (or the squad workout and squad start buttons); their own machine arms and starts with everyone else.

Erg data afterwards

Erg sessions save, sync and export like any other. The Analyser shows the PM5 force curves in newtons.

---

17. Joining a squad

Tap the SQUAD chip on the live screen, or open HOME → SETTINGS → CONNECT SQUAD.

1. Enter the code from your coach, tap one of your recent codes, or SCAN QR.
2. Enter your name - the one your coach sees.
3. CONNECT.

The coach sees your location and name straight away, and your data once you press Start. Advanced metrics and the stroke curve are only sent if you're on Pro. Your coach can send you workouts and templates and press lap for you. SHOW QR lets a crewmate scan the code off your phone.

PROMPT TO JOIN SQUAD (in CONNECT SQUAD) opens the squad box for you - ON WATER as soon as the app opens on the live screen, ON ERG as soon as the PM5 connects, ALWAYS, or NEVER. Skipped if you're already in a squad.

Battery: a squad link stays open all session and uses noticeably more battery, especially when your coach is watching your curve. If you don't need to be watched live, don't connect - you can Send to squad from the log afterwards. Where phone reception is unreliable the live link may not work at all; recording carries on regardless.

AAAAAAA is an open test squad - no password, and sessions uploaded to it are deleted from the cloud after 7 days.

Following your squad's training plan is separate and doesn't need the live link - see Calendar and planning.

---

18. Coach mode CHANGED

Set role to COACH on the launch screen or in Settings.

Coach mode needs the Coach plan (included in the free trial). Without it, tapping COACH opens the Coach upgrade instead. The COACH demo runs on canned data so you can see it first.

Setting up a squad

Where: HOME → SETTINGS → CREATE A NEW SQUAD

1. Enter a squad name. Rowers see the name, not the code, and only the first 5 characters fit their status pill - keep the start short.
2. Optionally set a password.
3. Tap GENERATE for a new 7-character code.
4. CREATE SQUAD.
5. Give the code to your rowers, or SHOW QR for them to scan. The same QR opens the Viewer for spectators.

SQUAD PASSWORD locks reading the squad - the coach live view and the Analyser. Rowers still join and upload without it. Anyone with the code and password sees the squad's live positions and squad-sent sessions, so use a password, or a new code each term.

The coach tabs

The old FREE ROW / RACE switch in the header has gone - the tab you're on decides.

The coach screen

Buttons: LAP ALL BOATS, LOAD WORKOUT, TEMPLATES, VIDEO and Connect Squad. In landscape these stack down the right edge and the tabs down the left, leaving the middle for the boats.

Map - every connected rower as a labelled dot, your own position separately, with your sectors, lanes and hazards drawn on. Tap a boat to keep the map centred on it. Drag the bar under the map to make it taller or shorter.

MAP / STROKE CURVES - switches the top strip between the map and a list of live stroke curves, one per rower you've requested, each with its rate and pace. Drag the scale bar on the right to change the curve height.

Rower tiles (COACH tab) - name, big rate, big pace, plus whichever metrics you choose. Hold a tile to open OVERVIEW TILE METRICS: tap metrics to add or remove them, drag the list at the top to reorder, ALL / NONE. Metrics tagged ERG or WATER only show on the rowers they apply to. + / − scale the grid; drag a tile to reorder; × removes a tile from the screen.

What each boat's colour means

One press of LAP ALL BOATS starts a boat sitting in ready mode, splits a boat that is rowing, and does nothing to a boat that is stopped. So each tile is coloured by its state:

The LAP ALL BOATS button takes the colour and wording of what most of the squad is doing, with a count - LAP 4/4, LAP READY 3/4, LAPPED · READY 4/4. A first number below the second means somebody is different or has dropped off. If the squad is split, tapping asks you to confirm and names who is in which group.

Rower detail

Tap a tile or a name. Full metrics, live stroke curve, laps, and VIDEO and LAP buttons for that one boat. ⛶ opens the curve full screen. Hold any metric to open DETAILED VIEW METRICS and choose which ones show and in what order.

REQUEST CURVE asks that rower's phone to stream its stroke curve for the time set in STROKE CURVE REQUEST LENGTH (SETTINGS → CONNECT SQUAD), 5–60 seconds. Longer is smoother, and costs them more battery.

VIDEO records a clip tagged to that rower and that moment, ready to drop onto their session in the Analyser. Set the save folder in SETTINGS → SYSTEM SETTINGS → VIDEO - CHOOSE VIDEO FOLDER, then FOLDER ONLY or FOLDER + PHOTOS (also keeps a full-quality copy in Photos). A cloud-synced folder is best.

Templates to the squad

TEMPLATES pushes one of your stroke templates to the squad, or hides templates on their phones. It arrives on each rower's curve as a COACH pill. You see if a rower has hidden it. See Stroke templates.

Running a squad piece on the water

Build the workout with AFTER 5 SEC for a running start, or WHEN ROWING for standing starts. LOAD WORKOUT → SEND TO SQUAD. When you want to finish the warmup and start the piece, tap LAP ALL BOATS.

With WHEN ROWING, crews must be stationary for at least 10 seconds first. Watch the button: you want LAP READY n/n - every boat stopped and armed. After your lap lands it turns LAPPED · READY n/n until they row away.

Running a squad erg race

1. Rowers warm up, then all must be on the erg's main menu.
2. LOAD WORKOUT - build the piece or pick a saved one.
3. PUSH TO SQUAD - every connected erg is armed.
4. The button becomes START - n/n LOADED, amber until all are ready.
5. Tap START for a synchronised count-in.

The INTERVALS tab

Every connected rower's intervals as they complete them. Refreshes every 30 seconds, or tap ↻ REFRESH. × or CLEAR SHOWN only removes results from the display - nothing is deleted. They're collated into a squad session in your log; a new one starts after a 3-hour break or a change from water to erg. Open them in the Analyser under COACH SESSIONS.

Squad training calendar

Plan the squad's week on the Analyser's calendar in Squad view. See Calendar and planning.

Coach settings

• CONNECT SQUAD, CREATE A NEW SQUAD, SQUAD PASSWORD - in SETTINGS.
• STROKE CURVE REQUEST LENGTH - in CONNECT SQUAD.
• Video folder - SETTINGS → SYSTEM SETTINGS → VIDEO.
• Power button - Coach shares the Row/Cox power mode. The coach's phone drains fastest of all, so SAVER is worth using.
• Plan level - step down to PRO in Account & Plan for the rower screens without cancelling.

Battery - read this

Expect up to double the usual battery use for a long squad session. Start at 100%, use SAVER, carry a battery pack.

---

19. Demo modes

The TRY A DEMO buttons on the launch screen, or HOME → SETTINGS → ROLE → DEMO. A red END DEMO button stays in the top corner the whole time.

ROW demo - replays a real recorded session. Every tile, the curve and the metrics behave as on the water. Use it to set up your layout or check a workout.

COACH demo - a simulated squad on code BOATRUN: four rowers generating live data. The map, tiles, detail views and curve requests all work.

ERG demo - a simulated erg session with relative positions on the SQUAD tab.

• Demo sessions are never uploaded.
• Ending the demo puts you back in the role you were in.

---

20. Session log and exports

Where: HOME → LOG - two views, CALENDAR (see Calendar) and SESSIONS

SESSIONS is the full list, newest first. Filter with All, On water, Erg, Squad (coach) and ★ favourites. Tap the star on a card to make it a favourite. Each card shows Synced once the Drive copy is confirmed, or Awaiting Sync. Tap a card to open it; swipe it left to reveal DELETE.

Session detail

Summary cards, colour-coded by what affects them - green independent, blue boat-dependent, red condition-dependent. Then lap tables, workout intervals, the sectors you rowed through, and charts for every metric.

RENAME names the session (the Drive copy updates too). Analyser ↗ opens it in the Analyser.

Importing a session someone recorded for you

If someone else in the boat recorded the session, ask them to send you the JSON export. Tap IMPORT on the Log and pick the file (or several). It goes into your log and your Drive like a session you rowed yourself. Imported sessions aren't sent to Strava or Concept2 automatically. A session already in your log is skipped. The Analyser can import into your sessions too.

Exports

All exports are free on every plan. You don't need to export to get a session into the Analyser - it's already there through Drive. Pro users who link Strava get automatic upload - see Strava.

---

21. Your data and storage

The Drive folder is hidden - it does not appear in your normal Drive file list, and no one can read it except you and BoatRun on your account.

SETTINGS → YOUR DATA

• STORAGE… - the safe one. Reports what BoatRun is using and offers to free space without deleting anything.
• RE-PROCESS OLD SESSIONS… - recalculates metrics in older sessions with the current version of the app.
• DELETE MY DRIVE DATA - permanently deletes every BoatRun session in your Drive. Sessions on the phone are untouched. (If Drive isn't linked, this place offers LINK GOOGLE DRIVE instead.)
• PRUNE SQUAD SESSIONS (Coach) - removes squad cloud records older than 21 days for your squad.
• DELETE MY ACCOUNT - permanently deletes your sign-in, plan record, squad membership and Drive sessions. You'll be asked twice. It does not cancel a store subscription - cancel that in the App Store or Google Play.

Freeing up space - STORAGE…

It first reports total use, how many sessions have their full copy on the phone, and how many of those are backed up on Drive versus only on this phone. Then it offers to remove the on-phone copy of sessions older than 30 days and confirmed on Drive.

Nothing is deleted. Those sessions stay in your log; open one and it downloads again (you need signal). A session that is not on Drive is never touched.

If the phone fills up anyway

BoatRun won't let full storage cost you a session. When you press FINISH it strips raw debug traces first, then frees the phone copy of already-backed-up sessions, oldest first. If there is still no room the session is held safe in an autosave slot and you're asked to free space and press Finish again - don't close the app. Unsynced sessions are never removed automatically.

Deleting a session

Deleting anywhere deletes everywhere. Swipe a card left in the log, or use the trash icon in the Analyser, and it goes from that device, your Drive and every other device. The confirmation names the session. There is no undo - the hidden app folder is not Drive's normal bin. Deleting looks instant; the Drive copy is removed in the background (or on next signal if you're offline). Sessions you deleted deliberately do not come back on a new phone.

Don't delete to make room. Use STORAGE… instead. Export anything you want to keep first - raw data export is free forever.

Protecting your data

• Sign in and link Drive, and check for the Synced badge.
• Export JSON after a significant session.
• Tap Finish rather than force-closing the app.

---

22. Analyser

The Analyser is a web page. Bookmark it and open it on a desktop for preference, or an iPad at a pinch. Nothing to install. It reads and writes the same Google Drive folder the app does, so everything in What syncs is already there.

Every pane on the page has a grip at the top. Drag the grip to move the pane up or down - the order is remembered.

Signing in

The start page walks you through the same two steps as the app: Sign in · Step 1 of 2 (the same Apple or Google you use on the phone), then Link Google Drive · Step 2 of 2. Your Pro or Coach plan comes with your account.

Other buttons on the start page:

• From Squad - sessions sent to a squad code (plus its password if it has one).
• Coach Sessions - the squad sessions your phone saved to Drive in Coach role.
• Open file - a .json, .fit, .tcx or .csv file.
• Demo session - a sample row to explore.
• ✕ Back to session - returns to the session you had open.

The start page

Below the buttons, the start page is a set of panes:

Calendar and planning

Click a session on the calendar to open it. Click a day to open that day underneath.

• Mine / Squad - your own calendar, or a squad's (enter the code).
• ↻ From squad - copies a squad's plan into your own calendar, the same as following it in the app.
• ↻ Sync with app - fetches new sessions, workouts and calendar items from Drive now.
• 🗓 Planning - opens a bigger planning calendar in its own window (see below).
• Today and ‹ › move around the months. On a wide screen the months scroll as one long strip instead.

Planning a day

Open a day, then + ON-WATER WORKOUT, + ERG WORKOUT or + OTHER WORKOUT, + EVENT or + NOTE. Drag planned workouts to change their order. The app offers each planned workout as that day's SUGGESTED WORKOUT - see Calendar and planning.

In Squad view the bar under the calendar says what you can do: Coach - you can plan workouts, or View only - import workouts to your calendar. In view-only, each workout has an IMPORT button that copies it to your own calendar.

The planning window

🗓 Planning opens a full-size calendar for laying out a block of training. Along the top:

• ⧉ Combined - your plan plus the squads you tick, on one calendar. Changes go to your own plan.
• Mine, or a squad's name - one calendar on its own.
• + Squad - adds a squad to the list. Coach plan only (it shows 🔒 otherwise).

Planning your own workouts switches on by itself once BoatRun on your phone has synced with Drive. Until then the Analyser says so - open the app, signed in with Drive linked, then come back.

Workouts

EDIT WORKOUTS (under an open day) creates, edits and reorders your workouts on a big screen. They appear in the app's WORKOUTS list. In Squad view, a coach builds the squad's workouts the same way.

Summary and Personal Bests

Summary - longest row and total strokes, then sessions, distance, time and average pace for all-time, a month and a week. Use ‹ › to step back.

Personal Bests - your fastest 500m, 1km, 2km, 5km, 10km, 30min and 1hour on the water and on the erg. True rolling best efforts, found anywhere in any session. Tap a PB to open the session. Scan All for Records rebuilds the table; Reset Records clears it.

Loading a session

Click any session. Open in the header goes back to the session list to open a different one; Compare loads another alongside it (Pro), and each session gets a tab across the top.

Dark Mode / Light Mode in the header switches the theme for the whole Analyser, start page included, and is remembered.

Units bar

Pace unit, distance and DPS sub-unit. In erg files: Pace, Watts or Calories. Synced with the app.

Summary cards

Every metric as a card, colour-coded by category. Clicking a card toggles that metric in the main chart. Tiles reorders and hides cards. Metrics opens the glossary.

Stroke chart

• X axis - stroke number, distance or time
• Smooth - off, or 3 to 30 strokes
• Zoom and Pan - buttons, sliders, or scroll; double-click resets
• Drag across the chart to select strokes; hover or tap for values. The strip under the chart shows the selection's averages, with ＋ Add to curves and ⤢ Zoom to selection.

The overview strip above is a miniature of the whole session; drag on it to select, or drag group bands to move them.

Curve comparison

Pin up to 8 groups of strokes (from several sessions on Pro) and their averaged curves overlay on one canvas, with the integrated speed profile underneath. Pin a group by dragging a selection then ＋ Add to curves, or from a lap or sector row. Each group is a coloured pill; its × removes it. The stats table gives one column per group. Remove all curves clears them.

• From the lap table - ＋ Add to curves on a selected lap, or ＋ Add all work intervals to curves. For these groups the stats table shows the lap's own time, distance, pace, rate, HR and DPS, so it matches the lap table exactly.
• Consistency rows - Consistency, Effort ±, Character ± (and Length ± on the erg) for each group. See Consistency.
• Erg curves are drawn in newtons along the handle travel in metres, on a fixed force scale. Each curve has a dot at the top of its average curve and a ring at its average peak; a big gap between them means the peaks vary. A small box in the top right gives each curve's stroke length and its peak force and where it falls. Peak consistency in the table puts a number on the dot-to-ring gap.

The curve shape comes from the accelerometer and is not affected by wind, tide or current, so comparing two different days is always valid.

Stroke templates (Pro)

The STROKE TEMPLATE drop-down sits at the top of Curve Comparison, with Edit and Close beside it. Pick a template, then tap a curve pill to draw it over that curve. Save sends a template straight to the app. Full steps: Build it in the Analyser.

Sectors (Pro)

Two ways to make a sector:

• ✎ Draw (on the start page's Sectors pane, or in a session) - a full-screen satellite map opens. Tap the start, then tap along the course to the finish, following the bends so the line stays within 100 m of where you row. Drag a point to move it, tap a turn point to delete it, long-press the line to add one. ↶ Undo and Clear as usual. Name it and tap Save sector. A sector must be at least 100 m.
• ＋ Create Sector (in a session's Sectors pane) - click the start on the session's track, then the finish.

After saving, the Analyser offers to Scan all your Drive sessions for past times on the new sector.

Tap a sector on the start page for its detail:

Below that is every result, newest first, with your PB marked. Click a date to open that session.

In a session, the Sectors pane lists each sector you rowed through. Click a row to highlight it on the map and select its strokes. Sector list, Scan all, ＋ Create Sector and ✎ Draw sit in its header. See Sectors and courses for rowing them.

Lanes, dividers and hazards (Pro)

The Lanes & hazards pane on the start page lists MY LINES, then one list for each club you edit (CLUB · name · code). Everything here is the same set of lines as on your phone, synced through Drive - see Lanes, dividers and hazards for how they warn you on the water.

Drawing a line

A full-screen satellite map opens at your location, or where you last rowed.

• Lane / Divider / Hazard buttons along the top switch what you're drawing. The length and number of points show beside them.
• Lane - tap the map in the direction boats travel; arrows show the direction. ⇄ Reverse flips it.
• Divider - tap along it.
• Hazard - tap once for a point (a post, a buoy), or tap along it for a hazard line.
• Drag a point to move it, tap a point to delete it, long-press the line to add a point. ↶ Undo and Clear as usual.
• From session track (when a session is open) - zoom the map to the stretch of the session's track you want, then tap From session track. The line is laid along the track you rowed; tidy it up by dragging points.
• Your sectors and other lines show faintly for reference.
• Type a name. Save to: choose my lines or Save to club: …. Then Save, or Save + add another to start the next one at the same spot. Delete appears when editing.

Maps for drawing. The layer box (top right) switches between Satellite (world) and NSW aerial (sharper) - much clearer photos that show posts and buoys, NSW only - and adds Buoys & seamarks (charted buoys and beacons). Your choices are remembered. With a mouse, the pointer is a cross with a ring round it; set the ring with RING (Hidden, 10, 20, 30, 50 or 100 m) to judge distances - for example set it to your hazard warning distance.

On a session's route map, your hazards and your clubs' hazards near the track are drawn so you can see how close you came.

Managing club lines

Club lines live under a club code. Rowers follow the code on their phones and get every change. Editors manage the lines here with the club's edit password. Several editors can work at once. Tap 👥 Club.

Create a club code (Pro):

1. Under CREATE A CLUB CODE, type the club name and an edit password of 6 or more characters. Tap Create.
2. A 6-character club code is made, and a recovery code is shown. Write the recovery code down - it is shown only once. It resets the edit password if it's ever forgotten.
3. Give the club code to rowers (to follow) and to your other editors (with the password).

Join as an editor: under JOIN A CLUB AS AN EDITOR, enter the club code and edit password, then Join.

Each club you edit has a card:

• PASSWORD CHANGED next to a club means someone set a new edit password. Enter it in the box on the club's card and tap Continue.
• Forgot the password? Tap Forgot the password? Use the recovery code, then enter the club code, the recovery code (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) and a new password, and tap Reset password.
• Without Pro you can't draw or edit lines, but you can still join a club and manage its passwords.
• The clubs you edit follow you to the Analyser on another computer.

Course files

Course file builds one file holding the sectors and the lanes & hazards for a stretch of water, ready to be listed on boatrun.au/courses. Enter a course name, the area and an optional note, tick the sectors and lines to include, and tap Download course file. Send it to BoatRun to be listed; rowers then download it from SECTORS → COURSES in the app.

Video overlay (Pro)

＋ Add video for individual files, or 📁 Link video folder so clips that match the session's time are found for you. Videos you've added are listed under Videos added to this session to reopen with one click.

Drag the metrics and curve on the video to move them.

Filming yourself - Video Sync (Pro)

On the water: start the camera, tap the VIDEO chip, hold the phone screen close to the lens for 3 seconds, tap Done, then mount the phone and Start. Keep the camera recording.

In the Analyser: ＋ Add video, then under Sync:

• Code - ▣ Scan finds the Video Sync code at the start of the clip. The most accurate way. If it can't be read, step to the frame where the digits change, type that time (hh:mm:ss.s) and tap Use. For GoPro clips, ⛓ chains the other chapters once one is synced.
• Chart - pause the video on a catch, tap ⌖ Pick on chart, then tap the same catch on the stroke chart.
• Auto - Apply uses the time the camera wrote into the file. Reset lag clears the camera delay it has learned.

Video format: best is H.264 MP4. Avoid iPhone HEVC (.mov) in Chrome - convert it to H.264 MP4 first (QuickTime "Export As" or HandBrake).

Laps, map and stroke data

Click a lap row to zoom to it and select its strokes; ＋ Add to curves pins it. The route map shows pinned groups in their colours, your sectors, and any hazards near the track. The Sectors and Hazards buttons in the Route Map header show or hide each (filled with a ✓ = shown); your choice is remembered. The stroke table is sortable; click a row to pin a stroke.

25. Metrics reference

• 🟢 Independent - compare across any session, conditions or boat. Accelerometer timing.
• 🔵 Boat dependent - compare within the same boat.
• 🔴 Condition dependent - GPS-derived. Tide, current and wind move the number.

🔴 Pace

Boat speed in your chosen unit. Suppressed when GPS accuracy is worse than 25 m or the boat is barely moving. Don't compare across days on tidal water unless conditions and direction match.

🔴 Moving Pace

Pace averaged only over the periods the boat was moving. The better number for interval training.

🔴 Distance Per Stroke (DPS)

Boat travel per stroke. Typically 7–11 m in a single. At equal pace, higher DPS means a lower rating; a mid-session drop at steady rate usually means fatigue.

🟢 Stroke Rate

Strokes per minute, from recent catch-to-catch intervals. Clears after a rest and returns after two new catches.

🟢 Stroke Ratio

Recovery time ÷ drive time. About 2.0–2.5 at training rates, 1.5–1.8 at race rates. If it collapses as rate climbs, you're shortening the recovery instead of quickening the drive.

🟢 Stroke Char (%)

Where peak drive acceleration falls within the drive: 0% = boat starts accelerating after the catch, 100% = blade exit. Under 40% front-loaded, 40–60% mid-drive, over 60% back-loaded. Smoothed over 5 strokes. On the erg it is where peak force falls within the stroke.

🟢 Recovery Loss

Speed lost to deceleration in the recovery, per second of recovery. Lower is better.

🔵 The catch group

1. Negative Catch Slope - the gradient down into the check
2. Catch Accel - the depth of the trough (reads negative)
3. Positive Catch Slope - the gradient back out
4. Catch Dur - the width of the trough, from 30% of its depth to back through zero

A steep Negative Slope with a shallow Catch Accel is a sharp, well-placed entry; with a deep Catch Accel it is the boat being stopped. Rising Positive Slope as rate climbs means you're adapting well. Shorter Catch Dur usually means a quicker, more connected catch.

🔵 Catch Consistency

Variation in recent Positive Catch Slope. Lower is more repeatable; it usually degrades before pace drops.

🔵 Drive Time

Peak drive acceleration to blade exit - the back half of the drive.

🔵 Impulse

Total positive acceleration through the drive (Δv). Rising at constant pace means more effort for the same result.

🔵 Drive Accel

Peak forward acceleration in the drive, m/s². Top left of the curve.

🔵 Recovery Accel

Peak forward acceleration in the recovery, after the small dip following the finish. Top right of the curve. Should rise at high ratings.

🔵 Vel Efficiency (%)

How steady the hull's speed is through the stroke. 100% = perfectly steady; 93–97% typical sculling. Higher is better. It moves only a percent or two and follows rate and boat class more than technique, so it is no longer a live tile. It's still in the session detail, the Analyser and the CSV, where it's useful for comparing pieces at the same rate over weeks.

🟢 Consistency (%) NEW

How alike your recent stroke curves are - the boat's acceleration curve on the water, the PM5 force curve on the erg. Each stroke is compared with the average curve of the strokes around it; 100% = every stroke the same shape.

• On the water it uses your last 20 strokes within ±1 spm of your current rate, because the curve's shape changes with rate.
• On the erg it uses your last 10 work strokes. It shows REST during interval rests.
• It shows -- until it has 6 strokes - on the water usually 8–10 strokes into a piece, once the rate settles.
• The tile label reads GOOD (92% and over, green), FAIR (85–92%, amber) or LOW (under 85%, red).

Underneath, what's varying, as the spread from stroke to stroke:

• Effort ±% - how much the height of the curve's peak changes, as % of the average peak.
• Character ±% - how much the point of peak moves, in % of the stroke. It's the spread of Stroke Char.
• Length ±m - erg only, how much your stroke length changes.

On the water, chop and wash also move the curve, so expect lower numbers than on the erg. Compare water with water and erg with erg. In the Analyser the same figures appear in the Curve Comparison table for each group.

🟢 Heart Rate

From a connected strap, with zone colouring.

Navigation

Not a metric - the lane, divider and hazard readout as a tile. See Lanes on the water.

26. Limitations and warnings

Lanes and hazards are an aid, not a lookout

Warnings depend on GPS, which is typically 3–5 m out and can be much worse under bridges, near buildings and trees, or on older phones. A hazard is only as accurate as where it was drawn, and a warning needs a few seconds of movement to know your heading. Set a larger hazard warning distance where it matters. Keep looking around. BoatRun doesn't know where other boats are and will never keep you clear of them.

GPS metrics measure over the ground

Pace and DPS measure motion relative to the ground. On a tidal river a 0.3 m/s current changes displayed pace by about 10 seconds per 500m at a 2:00 baseline. The accelerometer metrics are unaffected - they are your reliable technique metrics on tidal water.

The mount matters more than anything else

Every accelerometer metric assumes the phone is rigidly attached to the hull. A mount that rocks near stroke frequency corrupts stroke ratio and Stroke Char plausibly enough that you might believe the numbers. After moving the phone, sit still for a few seconds before you press Start so the automatic calibration gets a clean reading.

Axis lock after a long rest

If the AX pill stays orange after several strokes, row steadily for 20–30 strokes to let the detector relock.

Crew boats

In doubles, quads and eights the accelerometer sees all the rowers together; stroke detection follows the dominant signal. Catch Slope, Catch Accel and Impulse are not comparable with single-scull values, and stroke templates must be built per boat class.

No absolute force measurement

These metrics measure the hull's response to blade force, not the force itself. Never compare Catch Slope, Catch Accel, Impulse, Drive Accel or Recovery Loss across boat classes.

Cold, heat and battery

Below about 5°C the phone may throttle. In hot sun it can overheat - see Power and battery. Start long sessions at full charge.

Signal

Squad, Coach and the Viewer need an active mobile connection on the water, as do club line updates and the course list. Recording, and warnings for lines already on the phone, are entirely local and carry on without signal. Sync waits for signal.

27. Troubleshooting

Grouped by topic. Each answer links to the section with the full detail.

Sensors and mounting

AX pill stays orange. Stop and sit still for 15 seconds - the app re-calibrates itself at every stop. Check the mount is rigid and flat. After a long rest, row 20–30 steady strokes. Calibration

Stroke detection not triggering. As above. If it never locks, check the surge axis. Mounting

AX pill shows the wrong axis. SETTINGS → SYSTEM SETTINGS → SURGE AXIS → LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT. Only if AUTO is genuinely wrong - check the stroke curve first.

Where has calibration gone? It's automatic now - there's no button and no CAL pill. Sit still for a few seconds before you press Start. Calibration

Strokes missed at the start of a row. The boat probably wasn't still before Start. Stop and sit still for 15 seconds and it corrects itself. If strokes are never detected, restart the app and allow access to motion and orientation.

Odd-looking stroke curve. Wrong role - a bow-facing phone needs Cox. Cox mode

⚠ FLIP PHONE 180°. The phone is upside down in landscape. Turn it round.

GPS and pace

GPS pill red. iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → BoatRun → While Using, Precise Location on. Android: Settings → Apps → BoatRun → Permissions → Location → Allow while using, Use precise location on.

Pace high, dropping out, or GPS DEGRADED. GPS accuracy must be better than 25 m. Give the phone a clear view of the sky; try a foam mat under the mount. On tidal water pace is over-ground speed. Limitations

Signing in, Drive and sync

Sessions not uploading, or Awaiting Sync. Tap Sign in at the top of HOME and finish both steps. Pending sessions upload when signal returns. Signing in

Sessions missing on a new phone. Sign in with the same Apple or Google account and link the same Drive. The other provider is a different account.

Something I made in the Analyser isn't on the phone (template, workout, sector, plan). Both must be signed in to the same account with Drive linked. The phone checks at launch, on return to the app and when you open the Log, no more than every 5 minutes, and never while recording - close and reopen the app, or tap Drive linked → Sync now. What syncs

Something I made on the phone isn't in the Analyser. Tap ↻ Sync with app on the Analyser start page, or reload the page.

I used to export and import templates, workouts or lines. No need any more - they sync. Files still work for sharing with other people.

Plans

Recording stopped at 20 minutes. Basic limit. Plans

Tiles say PRO - Upgrade to unlock, or Coach screens keep showing the upgrade. That feature isn't on your plan - or your plan level is stepped down in Account & Plan. Plan level

Display and tiles

Can't find LAYOUTS. It's now DISPLAY. It's hidden in Simple mode and in Coach role. Display

My old Race / Training profiles have gone. Layouts are now one on-water and one erg. The on-water one kept the tiles of whichever profile you last had active. Layouts

Can't change a tile. Unlock the tile lock (top right) and tap it, or hold it while recording.

Map tiles don't match what I set. The map shares its first four tiles with the CURVE tab; tiles 5 and 6 only show on the landscape side-by-side layouts. Map Display

Water splashes change screens. Use LOCK. Recording

Where has Vel Efficiency gone? It's no longer a tile; a tile that showed it now shows Consistency. It's still in the session detail and the Analyser. Consistency

Consistency shows --. It needs 6 strokes with curves - on the water, at your current rate. Keep rowing at a steady rate. On the erg it also shows REST during interval rests.

Can't find INTERVALS. It's now the WORKOUT tab (Coach role still has INTERVALS).

Stroke templates

Template not on the phone. Did you tap Save in the Analyser (it reads Saved ✓)? Same account, Drive linked on both. Then reopen the app. Build

Template on the phone but not on the curve. Arm it in DISPLAY → Stroke templates, then tap its pill on the CURVE tab. Erg templates only draw on the erg curve, on-water only on the Row/Cox curve. Simple mode doesn't show templates. On the phone

Can't arm another. Three on-water and three erg is the limit. Release one first.

"Cannot be mixed" in the Analyser. The template already holds the other kind of curve. Start a new template.

Can't find Create / edit template in the Analyser. It's the STROKE TEMPLATE drop-down at the top of Curve Comparison → ＋ New template…, or Edit beside it. Build

No ＋ Add to template button. Tap ＋ Select strokes on the chart in the template panel first (the yellow bar shows across the top), then drag across at least 3 strokes on the Stroke Chart.

A COACH pill appeared. Your coach pushed a template. Tap it off if you don't want it. Templates

Workouts and calendar

No suggested workout today. It appears once a day, never mid-session, and only for workouts matching your venue. Check the day in the Log calendar.

Squad plan not appearing. Log calendar → ⚙ → FOLLOW A SQUAD PLAN. If the squad has a password you'll be asked for it. Calendar

Phone calendar events not appearing. Log calendar → ⚙ → PHONE CALENDAR: check it's on and points at a calendar the phone syncs. Allow BoatRun calendar access in the phone's settings.

No beeps on a work interval. Volume up, phone off silent, and SETTINGS → SYSTEM SETTINGS → WORKOUT TARGET BEEPS on.

Sectors and courses

No sector pop-up. Approach the start heading the right way, with no workout running, and Show live sectors ticked. Pre-arm it to skip the pop-up. Sectors

DOWNLOAD or delete doesn't work. Both need you signed in with Drive linked, and signal.

Edited a sector in the Analyser and its times have gone. Changing a sector's course clears its results and PB. Accept the rescan when offered, or tap Scan all in a session's Sectors pane. Analyser: sectors

No map with no signal. Only water you have already viewed is kept on the phone. Open the map over it once with signal before you go. MAP

Courses list empty or old. It's read from boatrun.au and needs signal; the last list downloaded is shown meanwhile.

Lanes, dividers and hazards

No lane readout. Lines need Pro, must be SHOWN, and the readout only appears within 150 m - on the MAP tab, or add the Navigation tile to see it elsewhere. Not in Erg or Coach role. On the water

No off-line beeps. They only sound while recording and moving, and OFF-LINE ALERT must not be OFF.

No hazard warning. The hazard must be SHOWN and set to WARN, you must be moving, and the warning needs a few seconds of movement to know your heading. Warning distances

Hazard warns too late, or too often. Change HAZARD WARNING DISTANCE - 15 or 20 m near trees, banks or bridges, in sweep boats, or for beginners; 8 m only for experienced scullers on open water.

Hazard beeps can't be heard. Volume up and the phone off silent.

The arrow points the wrong way. The warning card's arrow is as the rower sees it - down is ahead of the boat. The map box's arrow points at the hazard on the map. Reading the arrow

Club lines not updating. Tap REFRESH. They're checked every 5 minutes and need signal. "This club code has been deleted" means the club removed it - LEAVE and follow the new code.

Imported lines didn't all appear. Lines you already have are skipped.

Can't draw lines in the Analyser. Drawing needs Pro and signing in. Without Pro the Lanes & hazards pane only shows 👥 Club. Analyser: lanes and hazards

PASSWORD CHANGED next to a club in the Analyser. Another editor set a new edit password. Get it from them and enter it on the club's card under 👥 Club. Managing club lines

Forgot the club's edit password. 👥 Club → Forgot the password? Use the recovery code. No recovery code? Any editor who still has the password can set a new one.

Rowers don't see a new club line. Check it was saved to the club (Save to club: …), not to your own lines. Phones check every 5 minutes; tap REFRESH on the phone.

Squad and coach

No rowers appearing in Coach. Every phone needs mobile data. Check the squad code matches exactly.

Rower tiles going grey. No recent data. Intermittent grey under bridges is normal.

Can't find FREE ROW / RACE. They're the COACH and SQUAD tabs now. Coach mode

Can't find coach tile metrics. Hold a rower tile on the COACH tab. For the rower detail view, hold a metric in it. Coach mode

Heart rate and erg
