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.

  • Hi
    Just installed Dozen Cycle on my Garmin Forerunner 235.
    I'm wondering if it is possible to add a Sunset datafield?

    My purpose is for Mountain Bike, as the days shorten... unfortunately, I have to consider the sunset (yeah, I also do carry my trusty headlamp).
    Is this planned / possible?
  • Short question about DozenSwim. Used it the first time in the pool and got weird distance because of GPS. Is it recommended to turn off GPS while swimming in a pool? Does it count the laps while GPS is off? BR and thx for the great DataFields!
  • if your are outdoors going point to point, i guess using GPS make sense. Otherwise in a pool or indoors, i suggest to turn it off.
  • Hi! Do you think there is a chance to integrate the visibility of Stryd-Power in Dozen Run? Would be a perfect feature...
  • Stryd-Power is an hardware device and is not available to the the SDk. no sorry.
  • Hello, I'm not sure but... if I push the LAP button when I pass each Km, does the App updates the times as "Race Screen" does?
    Since GPS position is not always very precise, in that App they implementetd this function to get a more accurate pace and ETA.

    Thanks for support
  • The green color on cadence is too dark so you can not read well, the power is underestimated on flat on climb is correct, and on 520 the distance apeaars on miles, we neeed the vam field.
  • Suggestions for further development:
    - Larger font size for HR and CAD. This will make it easier to read. Sometimes, I really struggle to read these data (and this is sad as I think they are the most important).
    - Option to remove coloured background for HR and CAD. Will also make is even easier to read in some conditions.
    - Option to remove data labels (HR, CAD, etc) and instead use larger fonts. This will ease data reading even more.
    - All fields to be selectable by configuration.
    - Support for more data field types like temperature, etc.
  • xuxumatu Thanks, The Colors will be updated for the next release of the Dozen Cycle, updated the previous release with better estPwr values on flat. I will adjust again if needed

  • moestboe, What watch are you asking for?

    - Larger font size for HR and CAD.
    display real estate is small & typically I have the largest font that fits.
    - Option to remove coloured background for HR and CAD. Will also make is even easier to read in some conditions.
    I can do this only for IQ version 2.x watches
    - Option to remove data labels (HR, CAD, etc) and instead use larger fonts. This will ease data reading even more.
    I can do this only for IQ version 2.x watches
    - All fields to be selectable by configuration.
    I can do this only for IQ version 2.x watches
    - Support for more data field types like temperature, etc
    temperature is not supported in data fields, I could support others only for IQ version 2.x watches

    Lack of memory space is limiting the available functionality
