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.

  • fbbbrown, thanks for your work creating the data field! It really adds missing features to my Forerunner 935.
    But I have a problem with a Power field: I have Stryd, so I set it to "Power (Stryd meter)". But this field always shows -1. I am not sure, I am using it correctly - I am also using Stryd Run as a second Datafield in another screen. I tried with and without Stryd Datafield, but the power field in Dozen Run always shows -1.
    Was someone able to show Stryd data in Dozen Run?

    Exactly the same here
  • Hello,

    Today was the first time when I used Dozen Cycle for a ride of more than 100 km. Since it was also over 200 km, I have more experience. :-)

    My feedback is that ‘1’ as the first digit of distance between 100.0 and 199.9 is not placed in the ‘distance box’ it overlaps the line between speed and distance. Moreover ‘2’ as the first digit is mainly placed in the speed box.

    I just wonder whether decreasing the font size when one reaches 100.0 km would a solution.

    For your information I have a Fenix 3 HR, which has the same size display as Fenix 3, and probably like Fenix 5X.
  • thanks for the heads up distance display over 100, I will correct for the next update!
  • the app is so great the only thing is the estimated power on flat is underestimated

    check this site for a better estimated power on flat

    https://www.gribble.org/cycling/power_v_speed.html

    here is the code of another estimated power app that has a better flat estiamtion

  • First of all thank you for the great app, I have a question, lately every time I start a run I have to go in the setting to put dozen run in the field.. I start and I have the timer , so i long press and I go to select dozen run for face 1, until 1 week ago the was always ready but now I have to reset every time. already tried to uninstall and reinstall.
  • Friz,
    I have seen this on my watches, too. I think this is an artifact of a damaged Run App, and the only way that I fixed it is to remove/install or reset the Run App to the defaults.

    I have the very same with my FR735XT. I just tried unistalling the Dozen Run, rebooting the watch, and reinstalling. I'm going out for a run shortly, I'll let you know if this fixed the issue.
  • To be clear, I had to reinstall the Garmin Built-in Run App. The FR935 give an option to default the Garmin Built-in Run app and that worked too.
  • thanks for the heads up distance display over 100, I will correct for the next update!


    Thank you, Mr Developer. :-)

    Another issue: is there any chance that you make the top left field of Dozen Run, which is cadence now, configurable?
