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.

  • Hello
    Congratulations for your awesome data field.It is quite helpful and includes everything i need.In your latest update you mention that Run Rolling Pace is now an IQ graph.I updated the data field to 2.0.4 but i can't find the graph to connect.garmin.com.Am i doing something wrong?


    i created a similar graph for the Paddle data field, it took a couple of days to be reviewed/enabled by Garmin. So I hope that is all there is. I will investigate if the data is not view-able.
  • Dozen Paddle & Kayak

    Great data field!!! I have updated to the latest version and love the distance per stroke field, however, when saving the activity in Garmin Connect the distance per stroke is that calculated from Garmin... When/if I leave the activity as rowing, the distance per stroke is twice what it should be, the stroke per minutes is half of what it should be (expected if app made for rowing not paddling!), but the average speed is wrong and seems to be missing 500m. If I change the activity to paddling, the speed is accurate, the stroke per minute value is still half of the actual value, but the distance per stroke is way off (by a factor of 6.5 or so...). I have reported the issue to Garmin and was asked for more details so hopefully they are working on it.

    In any case, if your data field writes on the FIT file, I must be doing something wrong as the data transferred to Garmin Connect is not the accurate stroke per minute and distance per stroke that I see on the watch while paddling.

    In any case, love the data field and won't be using anything else on my kayak.

    THANK YOU!

    error with version 2.0.6b

    Hello, since the last release (2.0.6b), i cannot load my fit files in sporttracks anymore. it looks like sporttracks doesn't see the new files (even if they are there garmin\activity). if i delete the dozen run app and i perform a new run then the files are imported regulary. Also if i take another sport (swim for example) i can download correctly the files. Othe strange thing is that whether i try to download from garmin connect the gpx file i get an "apache tomcat error".

    Can i get the previous version? or can you please fix it?

    thank you
  • amazing apps

    Hello to the creator of this amazing apps.
    I relly like your desight very much.
    Do you intend to dreate one for mounaineering as well?

    I would love it.
    I can help finding the relevant datafields if needed!

    regards

    I corrected this issue. please check for the new update rev 2.0.7
  • Can I change the 12s Pace to 5s Pace?
  • Can I change the 12s Pace to 5s Pace?

    yes using either connect app or garmin express.

    Average Pace?

    Is the average pace for the whole run up to that point? I have it set to 12 in Garmin Connect - does that mean it pulls in 12 second average?

    Looks awesome overall!

    Is there any chance that the Dozen Paddle Datafield would be available for Epix?
