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.

  • How do I configure the app to display a race distance or any set distance?


    I do it from the Garmin Connect app on my Android phone.
    1) select the hamburger icon at top left of screen, or swipe right from the left edge of screen
    2) scroll to bottom and select "Garmin Devices"
    3) select your device
    4) select Connect IQ Apps
    5) select Data Fields
    6) select Dozen Run (All Watch Types) or whatever version you have in there
    7) select Settings
    8) in the 4th row, you can enter (0) for Average Pace, or any distance. The distance is entered in METERS

    Feature request: more editable fields

    Great data field, thanks. New to this so apologies if requested previously...
    I don't have HR strap or HR on board the watch so the HR field is redundant. Would be great to swap it for average cadence as an option via settings on Connect IQ app.
    Thanks

    I've been considering your request for a while, look for update soon. what data field?

    Average cadence would be useful for me. Thanks

    Great data sheet, thanks a lot. Gave it a try this morning on a 10k run and it worked perfectly with an accurate prediction of race time.

    Only thing that bothers me a bit is the rotation of predicted race time and average speed. Especially when running hard, I only want to look at the watch once and see the relevant data. Waiting for rotation and looking twice or three times is a pain in these moments.

    So, basically, if a target distance has been entered, I would appreciate the option to only display predicted race time, no rotation of data fields.

    Thanks again,

    i agree. i've been considering making a race specific datafield.

    Error installing

    I get this message when attempting to install this data field.

    This app requires an update of your Edge 520. Please use Garmin Express to update your Edge 520.

    Garmin Express reports that my device is up to date and running the latest software version. 10.0

    Any suggestions?

    Black background doesn't show

    I've been using Dozen Cycle on my Forerunner 235 for a few months, and love it! Thank you.

    Somehow in the last few weeks, the data field started showing up in Garmin Express as a "development data field", and when selecting "view in store" it would return a 404. I uninstalled that and installed the current version today, but I'm not able to get the black background to show up. I've restarted the watch, uninstalled-restarted-reinstalled-restarted... but it still just shows a white background. Any idea what's going on?
  • New ConnectIQ graphing

    v3.0
    -Added Relative Running Economy graph

    -Added Momentary Energy Expenditure graph


    I've installed v3.1 on Fenix3 8.20 and checking in setting to verify the checkbox was selected to enable graphing. The resulting activity does not have graphs as I've seen on some of your recent activities. Not sure if something else I need to set to get the extra graphs. The FIT file seems to have been modified as it shows up corrupt on running tracking websites that allow import; older files still work. Garmin still reads the file fine.

    I really don't know why the graphing works on one and not another, since we have the same datafield versions. Here is my run from yesterday with graphs. I did notice the first day I installed my own datafield it was several workouts before I had a graph, I'm not sure if that is what you are expericencing.

    https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1497973944
    As for the FIT not being viewed in 3rd party site is due to the additional graphing data and those sites have not updated to match garmin's new FIT API. That is why I have a compatibility check box in the configuration.
