Metric conversion
Weight
Type in either box. Workouts are written in pounds in the US and kilos nearly everywhere else, and the same barbell is both.
1 kg is 2.20462 lbs. Rounded to one decimal, because a bar cannot be loaded finer than the smallest plate you own anyway.
Distance
Runs and rows, which get written in whichever unit the workout came from.
A mile is 1609 meters, which is why Murph is written as a mile and stored as 1609. 400m is a lap; 800m is two.
The loads you keep seeing
Standard prescriptions both ways round, so you do not have to work out what a 43 kg Fran is in the middle of one.

EZWOD
Since 2017
EZWOD is a training log for people who do CrossFit. Build a workout out of warm-ups, strength work and metcons, do it, and write down what happened. The benchmarks are already in here, the Girls and the Hero WODs and the rep maxes, so your Fran is the same Fran as everybody else's and your times mean something next to each other.
It does the arithmetic you would otherwise do on your phone between sets. It knows a thruster is a squat and a press, so a Fran counts towards both without you telling it. It works out your rep maxes from the set you actually hit, and it keeps a running total of every pattern you have trained. Logging is free and always will be: what you put in is yours.
