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.

  • Vertical speed

    vertical speed pleas vs is basic for cyclist without powermeter
  • Now this might be a stupid question but does the Average Pace field refer to the average pace of the whole run or to an average over the amount of seconds specified via the GC customization?
  • Average is average. The seconds you set is for smoothing the current pace.
  • ‰HR Max

    Is there a way to add or select %HR Max in the HR field? Thanks and congratulations for the app.
  • Is there a way to add or select %HR Max in the HR field? Thanks and congratulations for the app.


    check for v3.0.1 this adds %HR to 23x, , 63x, 735 & 920. also a few cosmetic fixes.

    Battery Drain

    Love you DF. But I had an issue last week when I went cycling for about 2 hours. My battery dropped from 75% to about 17%. I will try the data field again tomorrow after completely charging my fenix. I will give you a feedback tomorrow.

    Watch: Garmin Fenix 3 HR
    Version: 4.00
    Display: 3.5
    GPS Ver: 3.0
    BLE/Ant: 3.6
    Garmin Express Version: 4.2.0.0
  • Not loading on my Epix

    Hi there

    Sadly for me, this doesn't load. I previously used the version built for the 920XT which you made work on the Epix. Unfortunately Garmin have ceased development for Epix so we're stuck on older ConnectIQ, which I suppose is the issue.

    • When I set the field to the Run app, it sets. However, if I "preview" it by going to the change layout, it show me the IQ! screen.
    • If I try to start a run, it just shows a single Timer on the screen instead of the data field.


    According to the LOG (after doing a factory reset, and doing nothing else but install and test, no configuration or anything):-

    ERROR: Unhandled Exception
    DETAILS: Failed invoking <symbol>

  • Hey fbbbrown, I was very excited to see a new release of the Dozen Paddling data field with improved memory usage, however I cant get it to work on my fenix3. I just get the IQ! symbol. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as leaving all the setting at default... no joy.

    I've attached the CIQ Log... Any ideas?

    Race distance or set distance

    How do I configure the app to display a race distance or any set distance?
  • For some reason, I think an older version (2.1) of the data field was stuck on my Vivoactive HR and not updating. I was trying to remove the old data field, but it won't uninstall. It still shows in the list of apps? It won't post a screenshot, but the entry says DirtyDozenRunVivoHR. I installed the updated Dozen Run (All Watch Types). Does anybody know how to remove the old data field?
