Calibration Routine

To calibrate the SpeedCoach, row over a measured distance on still water (on flowing water, row both up and down stream and average the results shown on the display). Then, use the following formula to obtain the new calibration value:

(Old Cal Value) (True Distance)/Displayed Distance= New Cal Value

For example, if the known rowed distance is 1 mile, but the display shows 0.92, the calibration value would be: (1.00) (1.00)/0.92 = 1.086

Overview

Advance your training with NK's latest training tool—the Speed Coach Gold Rowing System. The Speed Coach Gold has the same great features as the red Speed Coach, with a few new features to help you get more out of your time on the water.

  • Run a timed workout automatically
  • Review your performance
  • Save and graph your training history

Backlit Display

Even when you are rowing in the dark, you won't be kept in the dark when it comes to your performance measurements. The backlight will automatically illuminate in low-light conditions so you can continue to monitor your performance. If you row in the dark, you need the Speed Coach Gold.

Increased Memory Capacity

Now with over 500 memory points, the Speed Coach Gold can store your workout to almost any degree of detail. Storage intervals can be set for time, distance, or number of strokes. For example, to see extended data for a long row, set the storage interval for every 100meters; for more detailed data, set the storage interval for 10 seconds. Or, set the interval to every stroke and review an entire 2000 meter race.

Programmable Workouts

You can now run customized workouts with the Speed Coach Gold, which is especially useful for training without a coach. Simply program each interval for time, distance or number of strokes to create interval workouts, pyramids, castles, or any other customized workout. Performance for up to 100 intervals can be stored and recalled. View some Sample Rowing Workouts.

PC Interface (Sold separately)

With the optional PC Interface, you can download the stored data from the Gold to a PC for in-depth analysis, charting and storage. The Interface also uploads workouts onto the Gold, allowing you to quickly set workouts and store them for later use.

Speed Coach Gold Accessories

Please Note: NK strives to make all of its rowing products FLOAT (for obvious reasons). The Speed Coach Gold does indeed float…without the protective bumper. However, the combination of the backlight, the extra battery, and the bumper all add up to a product that goes down and stays down. We still strongly recommend that you use the bumper provided with your unit: damage from hitting the boathouse floor or dock is far more  likely  that a one-way trip to the bottom of the river. When on the water, PLEASE be sure to attach the Speed Coach to your boat by looping the lanyard around something secure and passing the Speed Coach through the loop. It's fast and easy, and will save it every time.
