Using your iphone for training....

Hello Rowers and Runners.

Apple iPhone 4 Black Smartphone 16GBHave you thought of using your iPhone for training.  I have.  I use the iphone to coach people on the water.  I take video and then upload the lot onto the internet. No need to burn onto DVD anymore.  I can upload directly through the 3G network and the rower has the footage by the time the boat is put away and has driven home.  There is a stroke watch app that is great: iRatewatch, no need anymore for an expensive NK watch.  For rowers there are a couple stroke watch apps that work with GPS too.

I am sure that as runners you have used the iphone as your ipod to listen to music or even radio, pandora by the way is a great app, free, that gives you continuous music of the genre that you put in to begin with.  Listening to music is something totally impossible when it comes to rowing because rowers go backwards and use their ears to steer clear from danger.  Some master rowers use rear view mirrors that are pretty handy and take the risk of collision a few notches down.

I love my iPhone..... thank you Steve Jobs.
