Glad to have someone else along to play!
Sadly I don't know the answer though

Late joiner to this thread as I only installed Pacer on my iPhone yesterday. I logged 11707 steps today walking along the beach, felt much more than hat as quite a lot of it was on shingle following the storms we've had recently.
I do have a question though if anyone has the necessary knowledge, I usually do rowing as my main cardio activity, can anyone tell me what the equivalent step count would be for say an 8km row? HR monitor gives me about 425 cals effort for 8km if that helps. Pacer allows additional cardio work to be entered but seems to want to know the steps equivalent, there is no rowing option.
Gonna be a best guess Thommo really but have a look at your stroke rate for the 8K piece. An average stroke is approx 10m's I would think, so, approx 10 paces. So, if your SR is approx 25 per minute, it's quite easy to get a decent estimate. I would guess your 8K takes between 35-40mins ? Not sure, but multiply SR per min X mins rowed X10. you can do the maths lol !Late joiner to this thread as I only installed Pacer on my iPhone yesterday.

Hi and welcome
I assume that there is a constant ratio of steps per calorie. Calculate this by dividing the figure for total steps per pacer with the corresponding figure for total calories. If you then multiply the total number of calories burned per your rowing machine with this steps per calorie ratio to get total steps equivalent of your rowing sessions.
I hope I managed to explain this clearly.

I tend to consider rowing as pretty much equivalent. If anything I'm about 10-15% quicker on the erg than on the feet, so you could consider a 10k row to be 8.5km run for example? I did read somewhere an equivalence and I don't think it was far off that.
Of course you're not taking efficiency int account either if you go from a calorie count perspective. Rowing is horibly inefficient from a biomechanical turning energy expended into measureable work perspective. I suspect walking is much more efficient, as is cycling. Just think of all that useless energy spent sliding back adn forth, adn acccelerating then decellerating the boat (whether virtual or real)Hmm not so sure about that really, part of my walk is over beach shingle which is much harder work than walking say on tarmac or grass even, similarly when I'm rowing I tend to do intervals with the stroke rate varying between 18 spm up to 36 spm, i temt go with the heart rate monitors most of the time, but today it gave me over 1000 cals for the 2 hour walk, and usually gives me around 600 cals for. 40 min row. i suspect that the 600 for the row is more accurate than the 1000 for the walk as the perceived effort was considerably lower for the walk, being roughly 5.8 miles with about 1 mile on shingle/climbing a cliff path.
Tough to guess, so I guess I'll go with my HRM.

That's a big approximation Mo.I would stick with SR Thommo. 1 stroke is approx 10m or 10paces. You can get a pretty good estimation if you know minutes taken to row 8K and stroke rate per minute.

Agree, it's only approx but it can give a rough idea regarding the pedometer thread. To liken rowing and walking is only a bit of fun but keeps Thommo in the game ;-)That's a big approximation Mo.
For a steady distance row I could be at 11m/stroke, for a 500m sprint I could be at 7m/stroke. I think I red the equivalence soemwhere in one of the C2 training manuals, one of the sections on cross training.
