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.

  • I think you have it set to show 3 fields. You need to set it to only show 1 field.

    Yup. Click on >layout< and cycle through The number of fields you want by pressing The up and down key

    I have the 235 and it works nicely . RUN>ACtivity settings>Data Screens>Screen 1>Layout <------click here THEN use the UP and Down to set the number of fields - when it' 1 press - the go back button -- then click on the Field 1 and search for the >>Connect IQ 1/2 added<< field .

    If it's not there try resetting the watch and redownloading perhaps


    Another question: Have you used this app with training modules synced from your calendar? When I did a training session that was on my calendar for today it used the original run app and not this one with all the data fields.

    Glad you found the answer on the forums, as i suggested.
  • Dozen Cycle for Indoor

    Hi,
    I already ask for it a few posts earlier, but unfortunately did not get an answer:
    If the weather is bad, I used to ride my bike indoor on a roller. The roller sends power data, which I would like to see in Dozen Cycle.
    Since the altitude data is useless for indoor cycling, I suggest to display the power data in the alt field if no gps signal is present.
    Would this be possible?

  • Would it be possible to add support for Vivoactive HR?

    Thank you!

    Sorry, i've must of missed your request.
    I think i can do that. Does the power data already display in a Garmin data field? if so, think we will be ok.
    What watch? Avg power or current power?

    I have a feeling this data will be wanted to be displayed even if the GPS is present.
  • Thank you!

    please leave a review and comment back here for any adjustments, since I feel it may need refined.

    Awesom, thank you!
    Yes, power data field are available in Garmin data fields. 3s-Average would be the best I think.
    My watch is a fenix 3.
