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.

  • So I tried it for a run the other day and discovered another small adjustment that would be great if possible.
    It's about the Cadence and Calories fields.
    Would it be possible to move the "CAD" and "CAL" tags to the top of the fields and then have more space to make the data numbers bigger and more visible?
    I like to keep tabs on my cadence but I found it a bit difficult when it's so small. My eyesight is ok but when running with a cadence of 175-200 I found it difficult to get a fix on the numbers.
    Other than that and the HR zones I really liked it. :)
  • Good idea, I'll suggest some bolding and ungreying of the time too ;-)
  • I just downloaded this for my 235 and it came right up without issue. It looks great...easy to read and well laid out. I can't wait to test it out on run!

    Thank you for you time on this and for sharing it with the community (and for free)!
  • Oh my!
    Since there was no response here I thought there wasn't much happening but...
    I noticed a new version in the CIQ store!
    Customizable HR Zones and pace roll time! AWESOME !! :D

    That leaves only one request from me before I call it PERFECT!
    Would it be possible to make more space for bigger cadence digits?
    Maybe by moving the "CAD" tag to the top of the field?

    Also, the GPS field says "CAD" when there is no gps connection.
  • CAD is just that. No GPS and speed/distance/cadence is coming from one of the three possible cadence sensors: watch, HRM-run or footpod.
    Look at my cycle datafield I made some changes, which I'm currently testing with the run data field.
    Yes this datafield is mature and likely will not chnage much after this next cosmetic change I might do. I may added a selectable elevation/calories field or elev/cal scrolling.

    First of all,
    Thank you for your job.
    I would like to know if it's possible to have the source code of your app for cycling. I found the prg file but not the .mc file . thank toi for your answer. Best Regard
  • The Cycle Fields are looking great with the modification of the two top fields!
    I would be very happy to see similar change in the Run Fields. :)

    Great job!
  • Split Time Calculator

    Is there anyway possible to have for cycling eg. I want to complete the race in a set time and they give you some split times and average speeds for instance:

    Point on Route | Dist | Total Dist | Time to Point | Split Time | Speed on Split | Moving Average Speed
    Point A | 11.3 | 11.3 | 0:23:19 | 0:23:19 | 29.07 | 29.07
    Point B 16.6 27.9 0:50:19 0:26:59 36.89 33.27
    Point C 10.0 37.9 1:06:34 0:16:15 36.89 34.15

    So there are average speeds for variable distance to track.

    Is there a work around or something one could try.

    I think i undertstand there is a few ways of doing this.
    1.) using the known distance(s) to auto lap
    2,) using the destination waypoint(s) to auto lap

    then all of the data could be calculated from the point information.

    my Flight fields almost does what you ask, but only one waypoint. Soon more.
    https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/1f9f82de-0676-456f-9ac0-23a37520ef42


    for now, the work around would be using Garmins "lap data" fields (lap speed, last lap speed, lap distance)and using manual lap.
  • This is looking great. :)
    The only thing that was a little bit of a downgrade with the modifications is that the HR was moved to the top and made smaller.
    I'm always very interested in my heart rate while running since it can vary quite a bit at the same pace depending on terrain, daily form, fatigue, conditions, etc.
    it was great when HR was in the middle.
    That way we can have the calories on the top right and ascent on the bottom left. (Or possibly other arrangement if desired.)
    This is quickly turning into my absolute favorite running data field. :)
    Thank you very, very much!
    Keep up the good work. :)
