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.

    Total Ascent

    Thanks for all the information on one screen!

    In looking through this thread it appears that it is possible to change Elevation to Total Ascent for some activities. I am hoping this can be added to the 920XT Run as well.

    Thanks Again!

    Settings get lost

    feels like I have to set settings like HR thresholds again and again about every 2 weeks (or so). they just get lost frequently. quite annoying.

    besides that: awesome data field, thank you!
  • Row/bar across the middle on FR235

    Probably being dumb here but I can't work it out...

    What does the the row/bar across the middle of the screen signify?

    screenshot attached below

  • That is your battery level...


    well that makes sense! Thanks.

    I had convinced myself it was doing some clever calculation about how my pace was comparing to distance. I was thinking too deep!

    230 cycle wants this too!
    And any plan to open source? It must be very busy for you to maintain so many apps.... So let us help!

    In the first post it says that he's working on 23x cycle..

    In the beginning he was very clear that these fields would always stay free and that he would open source them.
    Any mention of these things ave been removed though so we'll see how it goes.
    I would like to be able to put HR where the Distance is now, move Distance down and Timer to the top.
    This would make more sense for proper HR Zone targeted training.
    I would also like to be able to chose Ascent instead of Altitude since the latter is pretty pointless.
    These things doesn't seem to be happening so I was hoping for an opening of source so varieties could be made.
    I think my suggestions would make an excellent Dozen Field Trail and that this is a very good idea especially for the Fenix 3.
  • Watts

    Hello, nice app, but as cyclist would be nice to have watts somewhere also, or average watts for 3 seconds or something like that.
  • Any chance for Epix version?

    Any chance for Epix version?
  • I just had a run on my FR235 with latest FW update and Dozen was quite "wavy" in giving last 12 seconds pace, so I uninstalled and tried to re-install.

    My pace per km was relativly constant (around 4'46" following my table), while Dozen often gave me > 5'/km pace.

    Suggestions?
