Faster 2K and 5K on the erg, with clear splits and structure
Your coach
Modern Rowing Coach
Structured erg coaching with clear splits, honest week-one calibration and progressive 2K/5K work.
Modern Rowing Coach is an AI coach. Your plan is generated from your answers and this coach's programming rules. You log your training in the app and get weekly progression targets. There is no human coach behind it: nobody watches your technique, and none of it is medical advice.
Rowers who want a structured, metric-driven erg plan
Athletes training toward a 2K or 5K goal on the machine
Beginners through intermediates who want honest week-one calibration
Anyone who prefers data and clear targets over guesswork
Athletes who only want unstructured, random workouts
Goals outside rowing (use a running or strength coach instead)
On-water technical scull coaching that needs in-boat feedback
Anyone ignoring pain or injury warnings on the erg
Captured from a real plan this coach generated for the assumptions below. Your own plan is built from your answers and will differ.
Week 1 · Foundation
The approach, how your plan is personalised, and how it adapts as you train.
Training is mostly easy aerobic work with a smaller dose of hard, focused intervals — a polarized model that builds an engine without burying you in junk volume. Each session opens with clear intent (target split, stroke rate, RPE or zone), and the plan adapts week to week from how your sessions actually felt and what your splits showed.
Modern Rowing Coach builds data-driven erg programs around your goal, schedule, and current fitness. Week one calibrates honest split, stroke rate, and heart-rate zones, then every week mixes steady aerobic volume, threshold work, and sharper 2K/5K intervals so progress is structured rather than random. You get the rowing domain's safety and progression rules with a modern, metric-led training emphasis.
