Data Field: Dozen Run Fields

Dozen Run, Swim, Paddle and Cycle Data Fields
After others are forcing you to pay for these applications, so I decided to make a great data field(s) and then keep them free. I'm a Software engineer, sponsored runner and run coach, I combined my engineering and running knowledge to bring you these streamline applications.

I put thousands of hours of bench and field testing these simple applications. So, consider a small donation.

Install Instructions:
This Data field needs to be added to the (specific) app within your watch to view.

This is a data field not an application and needs to be added to a single data screen within an application.
a.) Goto settings,apps,run,data screen,screen 1
b.)Set Layout to 1 Field
c.) Set Field 1 to ConnectIQ Fields, DozenRun
d.) run happy!

INSTALL ISSUES:
-"!" Issue: If you receive a "!", completely uninstall, reboot and then reinstall. The Setting file changed and the automated Garmin install is not replacing the setting file.
-Download Issue: if you have the "App requires an update before install", hard reboot your watch TWICE and install again.
-TIMER Issue: If you update/install and you see the TIMER and don't see the Dozen data field.
--The data field update or install may require a restart of watch.
--Or the data field needs added to the built-in application, again.

These are becoming a Data Field Suite, where all field are similar making it easier to read while in an activity.

The Dozen fields are intended for training, the data field works fine for speed work, track or races, but readability in these conditions maybe tougher.




IMPORTANT: If you have a Question, recommendation or problem.
Please provide as much as possible (for example the following):


1.) Watch type, Watch firmware version and ConnectIQ version.
2. programmed from Garmin Connect (phone type) or Garmin Express
3.) Which data field
4.) description of issue
5.) if its a "!" error include the error log from your watch. Connect your watch to a PC using USB cable. The error log is located x:\GARMIN\APPS\LOGS. copy the listing and paste in the post.

Description for all fields
--All watch types are support for all data fields. Coded simple to keep bugs at minimum.
-Race Prediction completely configurable for any distance. Distance is entered in meters. Enter 1%-2% longer distance to adjust for normal GPS error and better race prediction.
-Cadence either from watch, footpod or crank cadence. Color coded to provide instant readability
-Heart Rate field is configurable to several methods: calculation (default), manual entered max HR, or individual zones Color coded to provide instant readability
-Pace/Speed is a rolling average to give a smooth reading configurable from 1 second to 120 seconds (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Distance is the total distance for the activity (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Timer is the actual time of the active time. Not Elapsed time.
- Battery meter uses the entire screen for reliability and acts as a divide to help focus one the upper fields.
-Avg Pace\Speed is a Garmin's provided datafield. (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Calories is the activity calories.
-Elevation based on Garmin's values. (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Time of day either in 12hr or 24 hour (based on user setting)
-(Fenix3/920)Auto background color Black or White background based on app settings
-(230/235) Configurable background color Black or White background (user configuration)
-GPS uses same indicator as iPhone for GPS signal. 5=full, 4=usable, 3=poor, 2=unused, 1= last location & 0 = no GPS
-Blue Tooth connectivity is shown as a blue "B"
-Paddle Stroke distance is a calculated by actual speed / cadence. Displayed in Meters/Feet.

  • Any idea why CAD shows up blank? No data is captured but if I use the generic Garmin run app CAD shows up? I have a FR235. Thanks for a really useful app!


    Not really sure, are you using a footpod?

    No, i don't use a foot pod since I have the FR235 since it has a built in accelerometer. I did notice another running app also does the same thing and not capture any CAD data. I only get the CAD data when I use the generic Garmin Run app.

    real newbie question

    With the forerunner 235, having a bit of trouble accessing the dozen fields, where does one find these, like the actual app?
    Complete newb and having trouble figuring this out. I thought is was in data screens, but not finding the layout there..

    Cheers,

    I updated the IQ app let me know it if it helps.

    What rev firmware are you using. Appears that the current firmware may have issues, try posting there to see if any other user is experiencing the cadence problem in IQ apps.

    great!

    Thanks for updating your app! I'll let you know if it works. As far as my FR235 firmware it is ver 3.30.

    Thanks again!

    Hi. Nice field, thanks for your hard work! FR235 owner here, everything updated to the latest version(s).

    Looks like white-on-black is an option from the picture in the CIQ store, but i don't see a setting for this anywhere (can set MaxHR, zones, etc, but not switch the background).

    How do I switch it from black-on-white to white-on-black? Thanks!

    The background color is set in either the watch settings or the run app settings. The datafield matches the watch setting.
    For example in the fenix3, under setting>apps>run, there's a selection called
    Background color. The user can select black or white, I would think the 235 would be similar.

    I'm pretty sure there's no such option on the 235. The closest setting to this is an option to change the background of the default clock, which already comes set to black (and is on my watch).

    For context, the backlight on the 235 is pretty crappy, but necessary when you're running in the dark (to see splits etc). The backlight looks MUCH nicer when the background is black with white text. Hence my interest in your field from the CIQ pictures (in addition to it being a nice collection of relevant data while running!).

    Thanks.
