What does this tool do?
Rowers compare efforts by split, the time taken per 500 m. A single distance and elapsed time is enough to derive that split, the average speed and a projected 2,000 m result.
The Formula
Split per 500 m = total seconds ÷ distance (m) × 500Frequently Asked Questions
Why is rowing measured per 500 m?
The 500 m split is the standard unit on rowing machines and in race analysis. It makes sessions of different lengths directly comparable.
Does the split include rest?
No. Enter only moving time. If you take breaks, the split for the work portion is faster than the overall average.
