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.

  • Afternoon, how do I set the auto lap function on the Dozen Run app as I want my watch to remind me every time I've hit a mile

    Thanks


    You can set the the auto lap function in the activity settings directly on the watch. At least it is there on my FR935. It’s independent from Dozen Run.

    In the run+ app the distance selections are the menu long press. Long press up or long touch screen.

    Starting sometime in the past few months (I first noticed it with firmware 8.00 on my 935) the DozenRun data field has been causing my Garmin Run app to crash during basically every run. I've been working through an injury so haven't been running much and can't give a definitive time when I first noticed it or whether it's literally every run. But I believe it started occurring shortly after I got an RD pod and added the Running Power data fields, which showed up with that 8.* firmware, and it's been every run where I've used the DozenRun field over the past 6 weeks.

    The symptom is that my watch will go from the DozenRun screen to a built-in watch face (which I don't use). To get the app back I have to hit the start button, and then it picks back up where it was. Time continues to advance between when it crashes and when I notice and restart it but the mileage and other metrics do not. It has never crashed more than once per run; after I restart it it continues as usual for the rest of the time.

    I've completely deleted and reinstalled DozenRun from scratch without affecting this behavior. And I've removed it as a data field and consistently had the app not crash. I just had to RMA my 935, and it happened again on the first run with the replacement watch. The only experiment that would probably be interesting that I haven't done is leave DozenRun but remove all the Running Power data fields.

    Watch: Forerunner 935
    Firmware: 8.00 through 9.60, 9.60 currently
    CIQ: 2.4.7

    The most recent run with a crash can be found here; see at around 3:30 where the pace/cadence drop briefly to zero):
    https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/2838570011

    Let me know if I can give you more info to help debug. I really love the DozenRun data field and I miss using it.
  • Dave,
    my primary watch is the fr935. there are no issues on my end. however I do not use any other apps other than heart monitor datafield. I suggest trying witn/without the running powerDF to isolate your issue.
  • Hi,

    I installed the app on my Edge 520 and once the app is started I only get a blank screen (I've left it for a while in case it's a gps lock issue).

    When trying to save or exit the app it will not accept an option and the only way the leave the app is to turn off the edge. Has anyone else had these problems on an Edge 520 and could offer any suggestions?

    The app works great on my Fenix3 HR
  • rbontjer, at this time I'm having no reports, this is the first. I suggest install/restart/reinstall. what version firmware?
  • I updated to the latest Dozen Swim data filed 4-1upd.

    1.) FR920XT, 9.80 FW
    2.) Used Garmin Express to update
    3.) Dozen Swim
    4.) Installs OK. Assigned to Screen 4 with a single field Dozen Swim
    5.) When I press the Enter button to start swimming I got "I" error. The only error I see in the ciq_log file is

    ERROR: Symbol Not Found Error

  • Peshkor, do a uninstall, watch restart and reinstall. That will correct the Connect Incomplete install.
  • Regarding post #565, I did a bunch more cross-product experiments and it seems to be the RD pod itself that causes the crashing issue, not any specific data field. It was coincidence that it seemed to track with DozenRun at first. It's now my primary DF again. Thanks for a great utility!
  • Cam one of the data fields be configured to show Stryd power?
