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.

  • On vivoactive HR with distance in KM, when i reach 10km it's only visible 1 digit, so 0,x instead of 10,x
    I'm using 4.6.1 with vivoactive hr 3.80.
    Thank you in advance.

    Really best field for running.
  • Screenshot of the glitch on VAHR

    Here is a screenshot that show the "1" missing from 10 kilometers...
  • Here is a screenshot that show the "1" missing from 10 kilometers...


    I addressed this with 4.6.2, i with a smaller font. let me know how this looks.

    I also can do an auto adjust at 9.99 to 10.0. Most runners like to see that hundredth place. Or I can adjust the font to the smaller font when greater than 9.99 ( this will cover most typical runs). let me know.
  • Hello dear Brian,

    A small request for Dozen Run Field, if possible.

    I'm becoming older (>47 yrs) and it's easy for me to see big fields only.
    I'm focusing my training for 1/2 marathon under 1h35', and "I decided" I must keep a certain HR during the whole race, but I can't read the small upper-side field (cadence and HR are too small on my FR235).

    Could you please add the possibility to cycle the HR freq in the field of distance (just as you did for AVG pace and estimated time arrival)?

    Thanks a lot

  • Any reason you couldn't have Lap Normalized Power, Normalized Power and 3s Ave power being some of the configurable fields for the bike for those of us that use a power meter?

    Thanks,
    Andrew
  • Two small sugestions:
    1) pls make timer field configurable. I would love to have 'lap timer' as an option! I use You field for long rides, but for structured workouts I miss lap time! In best scenario, I would love to have both and resign from avg spd, since it's useless for me anyway.
    2) I noticed that after 2hrs, timer field goes to HH:MM format, loosing the 'seconds' from display. This is not perfect :-P I would still like to see seconds (i.e. in group rides we often do 30" rotations and after 2hrs ride I need to switch to different screen where I do see seconds). I have seen some other IQ fields using nice trick: keeping MM:SS format and introducing tiny upper index number in front displaying hours. Any chance??
  • I will be able to add power and seconds to the IQ 2.xx devices.
    Sorry i cannot make any more adjustments to the IQ 1.x devices no more memory.
  • Hi , I have a question.

    It?s possible to add "Dozen Run" and "Dozen Cycle" to my Garmin FR 235? If yes, how I choose when I whant to run or when I whant to cycle?

    Many thanks for your fantastic work!

    Regards
  • great dozen run data field love all the details that show on one screen, but i found out that the distance started to show problem once i hit 27km, after that it won't show .0x which means it will only show like 27.1 and no more showing 27.11 and the distance is off as well.. I'm not sure if it's only problem showing on my forerunner 935 or the rest of the model,
  • First of all, thanks for the great app! I really love it! I have a question. We are doing a 6,7 km race that starts every hour. You can do the lap as fast as you want, but then again it starts the next full hour. Is it possible to perhaps set an exta laptime so that if i am aiming for doing 10 laps, i will have the estimated finishing time, and the estimated finishtime for every lap?
