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.

  • Thanks for this really great app.

    I am using it on a forerunner 235.

    Is there an option to display speed rather than pace?

    My only other request would be the ability to record TRIMPexp as per
    http://fellrnr.com/wiki/TRIMP#TRIMPexp_Exponential_Heart_Rate_Scaling

    Cheers!


    Cool ideas i will check into both, however i can only add to iq 2.x.x watches due to memory. I can create simple datafield to run this trimpexp HR in the background and graph it to connect.
    I did something simular with dozen cycle and estimated power ePwr.
  • Great, thanks. Hoping to upgrade my watch this summer to one of the iq 2.x.x models.

    SWOLF value not correct

    Hello, I am using Dozen Swim on a Fenix 5s and my SWOLF value appears to twice as high as it should be. I like the detailed very much so it'd be great if you can give me a hint how to solve this problem. THX

    You may of found a bug within the Fenix 5s, the SWOLF data is directly from the firmware. Post a similar question in the Fenix 5s forum concerning the SWOLF value.
  • Datafield not showing on vivoactive

    Hi

    The datafield is not showing on my Garmin vivoactive,I have tried re-installing multiple times,turning watch on and off without success,I get the iq and 3 dots error

    Try saving the configuration settings. I've had several reports that the settings file is not being deleted and is causing the "!".

    Also try turning off graphing in configuration.

    if that doesn't work contact me directly.
  • I ran a half marathon this weekend. The mileage field displays miles to the second decimal place, but when you get to 10 miles, it truncate the first digit, so 10.25 miles looks like 0.25. Is it possible to just go to 1 decimal place after 10 miles, or use a smaller font so it all fits?

    Hi,
    look for an update that will address the cutoff text.
  • Hi,

    I've a question about elevation unit. What is the "tA" unit ? Is it possible to use metric system ?

    Thx
  • Thank you so much for the Dozen Paddle & Kayak datafield! I'm an outrigger canoer and I added a custom app with this datafield since it looks like the perfect information for the sport. The only issue I've encountered so far is that the cadence and avg. cadence fields stay at 0. Is there additional hardware or setup required to get this field to register? I have the data field as screen 1 in my custom app, and then screen 2 is a normal 4-field screen. I've only owned my Fenix 3 for a couple days so it's very possible I'm missing something obvious. Please let me know if you'd like me to provide any log data or other information. Thank you again!
