No. We require that you use Concept2 equipment for the Concept2 Online Logbook, Rankings and challenges. The Performance Monitor on Concept2 equipment measures work (and therefore meters) reliably and comparably; we're unable to accept data from other sources.

No. Your lifetime meters are just that: all the meters you've logged in your lifetime. This value gets carried forward from one logbook and ranking season to the next.

The Concept2 Online Logbook and Ranking season runs from May 1–April 30. On May 1 every year, the previous 12 months worth of data is archived, and a new year begins with a blank slate.

If your displayed Lifetime Meters is less than your total, enter the difference as Catchup Meters. If your displayed Lifetime Meters is more than your total, you’ll need to examine your past meters to find the discrepancy and correct it.

Yes, you can. Rather than enter them on the main log page, you should instead enter them as Catchup Meters from the History page. Catchup Meters have a start and end period, so you can either enter them as one sum or break them down by shorter periods.

L or (Lwt) is for Lightweight—165 pounds or less for men and 135 pounds or less for women. H (or Hwt) is for Heavyweight—anything over those lightweight limits. Even though you may have entered a weight in your profile, you must designate L or H for every piece that you enter. Note: These weight categories only apply for rowing workouts. Workouts done on the Concept2 SkiErg or BikeErg do not have a weight classification.

These pieces do not count toward the Million Meter Club totals but they are included in the Annual Meters Honor Board totals.

Click next to the entry you want to change in your logbook. This will take you to the Edit Workout page for this workout.

That number is the total of all the meters you have ever logged into your logbook, regardless of season.

That number is the total of all the meters you have logged into your logbook during the current season.

Yes. If you rank a piece, it will appear on the Rankings as normal.

In both cases, your meters will still count for your affiliation or team. For affiliations, your name will appear as "Name withheld" on the affiliation standings, and nobody will see your name or age. For teams, your name will only be visible to members of your team. For everybody else it will appear as "Name withheld".

If your "Show Profile" is set to Everyone, then your profile may appear on search engines.

All workouts initially follow the "Show Logbook" privacy setting set in your profile. The privacy options are: everyone (public), nobody (private), logged in users only, and training partners only. It's possible to override this setting for individual workouts from the detail view for a workout. If you change the "Show Logbook" setting in your profile, it will change the privacy setting for all workouts that have not been overridden.

Go to your profile and choose Edit Profile. Then click on "Privacy Settings".

If you share a workout on Facebook, anybody who has permission to view your Facebook profile will see a summary of your workout. If they click through to view it on the Logbook, then it's visibility will depend on your privacy settings for that workout. Note: You can change the privacy settings for individual workouts from the detail view for that workout.

If you go to the detail view for a workout, you can see icons to share your workout on Twitter, Facebook or via Email.

This is not currently possible. The only way to do so at the moment is to export them manually and then import them into the platform

If your platform of choice is not currently supported, it's possible to export workouts with stroke data as either a TCX or FIT file via the detailed view for a workout. These can then be uploaded manually to other platforms such as SportTracks.

If you have another platform you wish us to send your workout to, then please let us know via the Contact form. For us to do so, however, requires the other platform to have a public API.

We are looking at a few other platforms, but we have no timeline for anything else to be added at the moment.

If you ever want to stop uploading to a site, go back to the Applications page and click on Revoke next to the service you no longer wish to send your workouts to.

It's currently possible to connect your Logbook account to Strava , Training Peaks , Fitbit and Garmin Connect . In order to connect your Logbook to these sites, go to your profile page and click on Edit Profile . Then, select Applications and follow the instructions for the platform you wish to use. From that point on, any workout which is added to the Logbook will then go straight through to Strava or Fitbit. Only workouts with stroke data (such as those done using ErgData ) can be uploaded to Training Peaks and Garmin.

No. Heavyweight and lightweight are weight categories from the world of on-water rowing. SkiErg pieces, therefore, do not have weight categories.

Yes. SkiErg meters count towards this, as do indoor rower and on-water meters. Clicking on a team name on the Annual Meters Honor Board allows you to see the separate totals for each type.

Yes, we maintain records for all the ranking distances. Learn more

Yes. The team challenges include both indoor rower and SkiErg meters (however, no rollerski/on-snow meters are allowed).

SkiErg meters count towards most online challenges. There are occasionally challenges such as the 2016 Rowlympic Challenge that are rowing specific.

Yes. SkiErg pieces are handled in the same way as indoor rower pieces. On the Rankings page you can choose to view either a SkiErg ranking or an indoor rower ranking. The ranking events are the same for the SkiErg as for the indoor rower.

The SkiErg is a ski ergometer and training tool from Concept2. Like the indoor rower, the SkiErg has a Performance Monitor that allows you to accurately measure your workout. This means you can use the logbook to compare your performance with other users of the machine.

No. Heavyweight and lightweight are weight categories from the world of on-water rowing. BikeErg pieces, therefore, do not have weight categories.

Not at the moment, although we will have one in the future.

Yes, BikeErg meters will count for team challenges. Meters done on teh BikeErg will, however, be automatically halved when applied towards a team challenge.

We are starting to add the BikeErg to individual challenges, starting with the 2017 Holiday Challenge .

Yes. BikeErg pieces can be ranked. The ranking events are slightly different for the BikeErg than for the indoor rower and SkiErg.

The Concept2 BikeErg is a cycling ergometer and training tool. Like the indoor rower, the BikeErg has a Performance Monitor that allows you to accurately measure your workout. This means you can use the logbook to compare your performance with other users of the machine.

How do I rank a result?

Enter your result in your logbook. The rank button automatically appears next to any qualifying result. Clicking this button sends the result to the Rankings.

How can I tell which results I have ranked?

Results that are ranked will have a blue background in your logbook and will be accompanied by an Unrank link. You can also see all your ranked results by going to the Ranked Workouts page in your logbook.

Which pieces can be ranked?

For the indoor rower and SkiErg, you can rank the following workouts: 100 Meters

500 Meters

1000 Meters

2000 Meters

5000 Meters

6000 Meters

10000 Meters

21,097 Meters (half marathon)

42,195 Meters (marathon)

500 Meters

1000 Meters

4000 Meters

40,000 Meters

100,000 Meters (team event)

1 minute

30 minutes

60 minutes All ranking pieces must be single distance or timed pieces (no interval pieces) started from a non-moving flywheel. Accelerated starts from moving flywheels during intervals are not accepted as ranking times. Generally Just Row/Ski/Ride pieces are not acceptable because the distance/time must be exact to meet the category requirements above. You can only rank pieces in the current Logbook season.

How can I set up an exact single distance or timed piece to be ranked?

How can I verify my result in the rankings?

Pieces that are uploaded directly using the Concept2 Utility (from your LogCard or USB flash drive), the ErgData app, or those that come from races, are automatically classed as verified. Verification is not required to rank a piece, however, to flag a manually entered piece as "verified", you can use the verification code from your PM3, PM4 or PM5. Read more on how to access the PM3/PM4/PM5 verification code. If you have an older Performance Monitor (PM2 or PM1 only), use the contact page after you have entered it into the ranking and choose "Verify a Piece".

Can I rank a result from a past season?

No, you can only rank results completed during the current logbook and ranking season.

How can I see last year's rankings?

To see prior seasons' rankings, select the year you want to see from the search criteria on the main rankings page.

I edited a workout that I'd previously ranked, and now I can't find it in the rankings. Why?

Editing a ranked piece removes it from the ranking. To re-rank the piece, click the blue rank link in the Status column for that piece on your main logbook page.

If I have a ranked piece in a given ranking category (let's say 5,000 meters) and I enter a faster time for that 5,000 meters, do I need to unrank my slower time in order to rank my faster time?

No. When you rank the faster time, the slower time is automatically removed from the rankings so you'll only have one ranked time for that category.

How do I delete a ranking piece?

On either Ranked Workouts page or from your Log, click Unrank next to the workout you want to delete. This does not remove the piece for your logbook. It simply removes it from the Rankings. You can only delete ranked workouts from the current season.

Can I rank an on-water piece?

No. On-water pieces are not eligible for the Rankings.

If a birthday puts me into the next ranking age category, can I have two different pieces ranked for the same distance—each under a different age category?

No, you will have to choose which piece you want to rank. You can only have one ranking entry per event per season regardless of age.

Why are some people listed twice in the same ranking?

In some cases an individual may appear twice when they have input their own times, and then had their race results sent to us by the race organizers. We try and automatically merge these results, but if their names or date of births differ they may appear twice. Please let us know about any duplicates via the contact page.

Are pieces on the Dynamic Indoor Rower ranked separately to pieces on an indoor rower?

You can now rank pieces separately on an indoor rower, an indoor rower with Slides and the Dynamic Indoor Rower and these will all show up in separate sections on your Ranked Workouts page. When you view Rankings, you can choose which "Indoor Rower Type" to search by: whether all types, dynamic only or indoor rower only etc. Only one piece by you will ever show up in any Ranking, so if you have a 2,000m time ranked for both the indoor rower and the Dynamic Indoor Rower, and you choose to view "All Results" for Indoor Rower Type, only your fastest piece will show up.

What do the types "I", "D" and "S" mean on the ranking page?
