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.

  • Pace measurement

    Hi fbbbrown, at first - thanks very much for the effort you give to the community. I just have a question regarding pace measurement in Dozen run datafield. It seems that behavior of instant pace has been changed recently (is it possible?). It seems that the pace measurement is unreliable now. I'm on version 3.6. running on Fenix 3 (with HRM-RUN strap) watch. I have set the interval of pace averaging to 6 secs (configured by Garmin Connect mobile app). But the response on stops/starts and speed increase/decrese is much slower, at least as far as I can observe it. In the end it often leads to situation that when particular lap (1km autolap) ends, the watch shows me lower pace than the pace displayed most of the time during this lap (hope you understand). I think in previous versions (unfortunately I don't know more speciffically which one) this were not happening. Anyone else experienced this?
  • Just installed the dozenrun and dozen cycle. I put them on the data fields and everything looks fine except dozencycle on the top 2 sections has A HR and HR. I believe the A HR should be cadence based on the first page. Anyone else notice that? Or does it do that when it is not connected to my cadence/speed monitor? I will test it later but wanted to ask.

    Cadence, HR fields

    Can the above fields be moved to the middle and made more prominent? By me? Or is this a programming thing?
    I have an Edge 520.

    Swimming single field on vivoactive hr

    Hi
    How can i set swimming app to a single data field (so i could use the dozen face)?

    FR920 Background color always white

    I updated to the latest version of the data filed a couple of days ago. Today I cannot change the background color. It is always white. I run the latest firmware for FR920 9.20. I alway had it at the black background.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Think that's a programming thing. I'd also like to have the option of moving the calories field to one of the bigger windows. Perhaps add an option to enable toggling it between ET every couple seconds similar to how average pace/predicted finish works? Pretty tough to read the bottom when in motion.

    I don't use elevation or decent at all....so maybe having option to scale down to two fields similar to the top and just have TOD and calories could also work?

    FBB - also wondering if you are willing to change the distance field to show 4 characters when over 9km/mi. Even if its tight I think it's a bit better to see two decimal places of a given km/mi vs just one when you're 10 km/mi's in?

    Thanks

    Does the data screen reduce battery life when using it? I was thinking of trying this one for my 735xt and wanted to check.



    running on a Garmin 735.

    The numerals are huge and only half of the number can be seen? I dunno must be doing something wrong.

    As soon as your cadence is greater than 0, the field will show cadence.

    The vahr swim is only three fields minimum
