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 - I just downloaded the latest version 3.4.1 having used DirtyDozen 2.4.1 before.

    Thank you for making the heart rate bolded. It's much easier to read.

    One thing I noticed that the pace, distance and overall estimated pace field is in KM but elevation is in FT (I am in the US, so I am used to pacing in miles). After reading the description, I saw that it is auto-configured based on system default of the watch.

    I changed everything to KM, and the DirtyDozen 2.4.1 correctly shows all metric measurements, as does the 3.4.1. But when I switched system settings back to imperial measurements, the 3.4.1 pace and distance fields remained at KM whereas the old DirtyDozen 2.4.1 correctly displays miles.

    Can you take a look at this when you have a chance? Many thanks.

    Albert

    Check your device settings the DozenRun uses both distance mi/km and elevation ft/m (and in any combination) device settings.
    The base software code is defaulted as km (to save memory in other watch models) however, the labels will update and display as statute as you start moving.

    Thanks for the clarification! I did another test and started "swinging my arms around" indoor to simulate the running motion, and it switched to miles!!

    I have looked into these calculations. The 23x, fenix3 and 920 watches will no longer be improved, however I may add these functions to the 735,VAhr and fenix 5 models in the future. This is due to the limited memory available in those models.

    Currently, i'm working a walking/hiking data field that is my most advanced and configurable data field. This Datafield will provide 3 additional graphing metrics to follow. The first release will be the fenix line followed by the semi-round watches.


    Ok. Sounds good as I will likely get a F5x
  • App non starting

    Hi,

    I am enjoying a lot the Dozen Run field. Today I tried to install the Dozen Cycle data field in my 735xt, but I get the IQ! symbol. I restarted the unit a couple of times but could not get it working yet. Any suggestion?

    Thanks!

    Yes put the data field on screen 3, not screen 1. I guess there is a bug with in the Epix :rolleyes:
  • run activity, screen 3, same result

    Hi there,
    I tried that and although the screen starts for a few seconds it quickly enters IQ! state.

    The log shows similar entries to last time and the IQ! appears about 2 seconds after starting the activity.
    I have more screen shots if you would like them.
    Many thanks
  • I tried using the Estimated Power field on my Forerunner 735XT yesterday. I am unsure whether I ever saw an estimated power or where exactly it should show up, but there is no power data showing up in Garmin Connect. Any idea on how to diagnose the problem?

    Edge 820

    Hi there! Firstly, I just wanted to say that this data field is probably the best I've tested - I'm using Dozen Cycle on an Edge 820 and everything is visible and logically laid out. Have tried others but they were too confusing and not easy to read when on the move.

    I decided to put it as my one and only field, but that's where I run into an issue - is there a way to exit apart from start/stop a ride? With the standard fields, it's possible to tap on the screen and get a Home button (overlaid at the bottom with Page left/right buttons). It's not a major issue as I just keep another page active for that. Just wondered if I was missing something?
