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.

  • Thank you so much for the Dozen Paddle & Kayak datafield! I'm an outrigger canoer and I added a custom app with this datafield since it looks like the perfect information for the sport. The only issue I've encountered so far is that the cadence and avg. cadence fields stay at 0. Is there additional hardware or setup required to get this field to register? I have the data field as screen 1 in my custom app, and then screen 2 is a normal 4-field screen. I've only owned my Fenix 3 for a couple days so it's very possible I'm missing something obvious. Please let me know if you'd like me to provide any log data or other information. Thank you again!

    There are paddle cadence sensors available or you must be wearing your watch to get the cadence. I also remember that there was an error in the fenix3 cadence in the row or SUP app, which maybe the issue you are seeing.
  • Hi,

    I've a question about elevation unit. What is the "tA" unit ? Is it possible to use metric system ?

    Thx

    The datafield folows the watch Elevation, Distance and Pace units settings. This is set in >settings>system.

    Thanks fbbbrown. I am indeed wearing the watch to get the cadence. Do you recall if the row/SUP cadence errors are fixable? I've also seen these issues mentioned but I'm not sure what the fix is, if any.

    Edit: I think I've narrowed down the issue, at least in part. I deleted my custom app and created a new one starting from a copy of the SUP app (so that I had stroke rate etc. data fields available to me). After some trial and error, it seems like changing GPS to Ultratrac causes the average cadence to stop counting. Switching it to just "On" allows the average cadence to work again. Cadence still reads 0, but as the watch will be on my wrist until I'm able to get a dedicated cadence sensor, I don't have much use for that field anyway. Thanks again fbbbrown!

    OK thanks all is good now !

    I use DFTrail for trail, but I will love a Dozen Trail with information Trail oriented....

  • Hi,

    first of all many thanks for these great data fields. I'm using both Dozen Cycle and Dozen Swim and love them both!

    However, I have a question regarding Dozen Swim (apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything about this in this (very long) thread). I have recently switched from a Fenix 3 HR to a Fenix 5 and have noticed that the layout of Dozen Swim seems to slightly differ between the two devices. While on the Fenix 3 the layout is as described in the initial post, on the Fenix 5 the SWOLF field is not at the top right, but at the bottom right. And at the top right is something that is labeled "aSD" which I have admittedly no idea what to make of. Is this difference documented somewhere? Or is this a bug? And what is this "aSD" metric? Thanks!

    if HR is 0, Average Stroke Distance will be displayed, i will update the app pages thanks. only available on fenix5X,5, 5s and 735xt
  • Hello. I love this app! I've started using the auto rotate for current pace / lap pace on my 935. It's usefully but frustrating because these values don't display for the same amount of time. Current pace is maybe 4 seconds and lap pace seems to be double. So when I'm running chances are when I look it's going to be lap pace and then takes forever to get to current pace. Can you adjust so they are even and both short? 4 seconds or less... Thanks.

    Yeah, i will check into it and make them the same time.
