Help with settings for ultra runs please

What I use with my Enduro 2

1) set map to North up not track up

2) use GPS only, it's good enough for ultras

3) use power profiles to set backlight to off. Then I can only switch it on with the light key

4) in the activity settings switch the touch screen to off

I've never had it go into sleep during an activity, had you paused it to resume later or something?

On the day of the ultra alter your sleep schedule perhaps?

I've got 1%0 per hour with power profiles, which you'll have to be careful with as they're bugged right now

Also use the ultra activity?

Did you get an opportunity to resume later? It may have paused the activity?

Oh you can also switch off the morning report

This is exactly what I use during my ultras. I've also never had sleep activate due to the movement / heart rate during races, but that's absolutely *** that yours has done it.

I have a base model Fenix 7 and I use around 2-3% during races. It easily makes 24 hours.

An important note is to not leave the map screen running when not actively navigating. It's by far and away the biggest drain.

I think the main reason battery drains so fast is that you have wrist gesture backlight enabled. In my experience that simply doesn't work when running and the backlight stays on most of the time and that increases the battery usage very significantly - more than twice vs the estimated battery life.

For an ultra race I recommend turning backlight off completely - you'll have headlamp at night so there is no need for backlight.

Also, you should turn touch off to avoid undesired behavior with switching data screens or editing data fields, etc.

Other recommended settings to turn Bluetooth connection with the phone off and switch GPS to All Satellites or GPS only. 

In my last 100 miler I used these settings with the satellite mode set to All Satellites. After almost 32 hours my Fenix 7X  still had close to 30% of the battery remaining. I used course navigation the entire time too.

Same settings as epsilon tells you.
Touch screen off,
GPS only
Wrist gesture off, always.
The light off, in ultras at night you go with a flashlight, it is not necessary.
I carry the track loaded if it is a race, but I only use that screen occasionally,
In my last ultra, 24h I ended up with 56% battery.
Use the vest mode, tweaking a few things as I have described.
My watch is a 7X Pro

I did not, upon receiving the morning report, my  run was cut-off. Had to start a new one. 

i figured a few things out. Not sure how to turn off the morning report

Awesone! Sure will give it a go. Sounds like just the settings i would like :) 

there’s a vest mode?
