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.

  • 230/630 update v1.2

    increased the fonts
    removed the CAL and move the HR in the CAL location

    Minor update DozenField_230_630_1.2.zip located at:

  • I downloaded the new version off your website and I've been running with it over the holiday weekend. The latest changes are excellent. The readability is much better! Thanks
  • Pace 3s mi

    I love this for my new 235 - thanks! A question, though. Can you tell me what 3s mi means? Does that refer to the user's pace/mile over each rolling 3 second interval? I typically look at lap pace (with laps being set at a mile) because instant pace is usually too variable for a long distance runner like me. This field might work too, though, depending on whether I have defined it correctly. If not, maybe it's something you might consider letting the user set. Either way, I'm sure this will be my new standard running data screen. Thanks again!!

    its a 3 second rolling pace. I used auto lap function for that purpose i usually set to 1/2 mile for general training or 1Km for 5k races.
  • Looks great. I just installed the latest from your blog and will be trying it today. Good call on removing the calories.

    I just started playing with the SDK and something like this was the first thing I wanted to tackle.

    One request would be to have the GPS or version field replaced by a temperature if you have a tempe. Also, have you looked into having the short term pace have a selectable duration? I have gotten so used to using lap pace, given Garmin's limitations on pace, that I might miss that.
  • 5003

    As I have done some more digging, looks like there is no way to get access to the tempe temperature from within a CIQ data field. Crazy!

    Also, I haven't been able to find any info on getting per lap information, such as lap pace. Or even being notified when a lap occurs. Am I just missing something or can you get information on laps within a CIQ data field?
  • No laps exposed. Code your own.

    Thanks, I've been working on custom object for laps and lap function for a different specialized datafield. The SDK has many deficiencies, this is one, of many.
  • No laps exposed. Code your own.


    It'd be easy to code automatic laps like every mile, which would be fine for me 90% of the time. But since there is no way to either force a lap or detect a manual or triggered lap, there is no way to "code my own" laps in a general sense. Definitely a limitation.
  • Customizable HR Zones are a must.

    This is looking good, I like it!
    The only thing needed now is individually customizable heart rate zones.
    This is needed so that we can set them according to our measured Max/Resting HR or Lab results.
    Take me for example, I'm almost 39 years old and recently measured my max HR at 197.
    And I'm looking forward to doing a lab test to get more REAL numbers for thresholds.
    When custom zones are in place I'll try it out properly and write a review. :)
    Keep up the good work!
