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.

    Heart rate continually buzzing up during activity

    I'm using the dozen paddle date field in sup activity and the my heart rate is continually coming up on the whole screen and vibrating. This means when I look at the watch I don't get to see any other info most of the time!
    I don't care if my hr has gone from 68 to 69 bpm!!
    I have turned off the alerts in the app but can't find any other way.
    Any help?
    Thanks!!
  • Thanks for the reply, that was my first activity with updated field that includes the extra graphs. Looks like I'm having the same issue you initially had. I uninstalled/reinstalled + powercycled watch but my next activity still missed the extra graphs. I guess I'll just monitor and see if it pops in eventually.

    The data field does not control the vibration.
    Please send a photo of you can
    Sounds like you are using an Alert which is set under the apps, perhaps delelte the alerts
  • HR field text size too large on Garmin 820

    Hi There,
    Thanks for a great app. I've just installed the latest version on a Garmin 820 and as per the post title the font size for the numeric data in the top two HR fields is too large, and is thus cut off by the aHR and HR title text. Would be great if this could be fixed at some point.

    Many thanks

    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?


    Any help here would be much obliged. :)

    I've moved all of the cycle, run and swim data fields under a single link for each.
    Here is the link to all of my apps.

    I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear about my issue: I have the new version of the app installed (the one from the link you posted above), but I can't get a black background. It's white no matter what.
  • Thank you very much for the great "Dozen Run" data field! Besides the map it is the only data field I'm using and I really love it.

    Nevertheless I have two suggestions ;-)

    • Please use blue instead of cyan color for the Bluetooth icon if the background is white. Cyan is hard to read on white background.
    • Add an icon that shows if an live track is active. I don't know if this information is available through the API but it would be nice to have this on the screen.
  • Well I've added several more activities and still not seeing the new IQ graphs. I've opened the .fit file and can see developer felds eE and Ec linked with time. Are those your fields for the graphing? If the .fit file has the data then I just need to ask Garmin about why they are not using the data to display the graph on their website.

    Yes 'eE' and 'Ec' are the graph data. I use acronyms to save memory the SDK does a poor job compressing text within the program binary.
    eE is the energy expended
    Ec is run economy

    What watch do you have and what app are you using? I've noticed graphing doesn't work with all applications within a fenix3.
