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.

    hi there, Thanks for the great datafields.

    just downloaded and installed for my Vivoactive HR, but
    1- in cycling mode, I see pace instead of speed... not sure if I didn't do something wrong? is there some setting I should change?
    2- on the VAHR, swim mode is set to 3 fields and this cannot be changed, so no chance to install your neat datafields for this mode... is there anything that can be done? or should I contact Garmin to tell them I want more customization for the datafields ?

    once again, thanks for the great work!
  • GlmParis... Seems you're new to Connect IQ, as the va-hr is new. Many apps can be configured with "app settings" (from a mobile phone or Garmin Express)

    Here's a thread that talks about that:
    https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?332843-How-to-App-Settings

    No idea about the data screen and Swim Mode though.

    yes! that's actually my first Garmin watch... (after suunto ambit 2, tomtom spark, and Polar V800 !) I have to admit I'm a bit overwhelmed by the level of customization possible on the VAHR, but getting there (slowly)! ;)

    I eventually realized that the dozen run, cycle and swim apps are 3 different apps, and only the running one is available right now for the VAHR...!

    Thanks for the advice though :)
  • EPIC users

    "EPIC Users" of Dozen Run, if you have an "!" crash. Please contact me through the Email and I will give instructions on how we can fix. Currently the version works OK in the simulator, but may be a unsupported data request.
    I will need a copy of the /garmin/apps/LOGS/ CIQ_LOG.TXT. you would need to connect your EPIC to a PC using the cable and navigate to x:\GARMIN\APPS\LOGS and copy CIQ_LOG.TXT. please email me the log and FIT file that caused the crash. the FIT files are located x:\GARMIN\ACTIVITY.

    Thanks lets make the dozen app #1...
    Thanks

  • Been using the Dozen Cycle Fields for paddling now for a few months and it works very well.

    The only field I miss is the average heart rate. I know this is available if no cadence is detected, which is great, but my stroke rate is picked up in this field.

    Would it be possible to make the bottom calories or total ascent field also have the option to display Ave Heart Rate (or cadence, if the Cadence field can be set to Ave Heart Rate)?

    EDIT: Or... if you're feeling particularly generous, a "Dozen Kayaking Fields" data field :-) I'd be more than happy to provide input and you would make a whole lot of Fenix3 users very happy

    Sure I will do something for you. Let me know what fields. thanks

    Wow, thank you fbbbrown! You've made my month :-)

    If the configuration below is possible that would be first prize... the color highlights (for HR and Cadence/stroke rate) are also hugely benifical

    Send me a FIT file. I'm not sure if the data for stroke rate/avg stroke rate is available to the SDK. However cadence for Bike/Run are shared, perhaps it is for paddle?

    Here you go...

    Here's a link to a workout too: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1150568077

    I'm pretty sure cadence is shared for paddling too, as cadence registers on the dozen cycle fields when I'm paddling

    This will be quite easy, i will base off of the cycle, since that uses speed vs pace.
