No fuelling alerts/prompts

I utilize something like that for my 'Run' activity - with a Custom Alert, using the "EAT" selection every 20minutes... it has been working for me in the last couple weeks.   While I remembered, I just enabled it for 'Trail Run' as well.

Regarding loosing custom activities. etc.

What I do is create a copy of my device drive on my computer and then you can always pull back the "sports" onto the watch drive if necessary if you reset etc. Saved my bacon a few times. Helps with anything you change like the dats screens etc on the standard  activities as well.

I had that issue last year and I realized that those "fueling" alerts did not work within structured workouts that were created through "Runna" on my watch. They did still work in "normal" workouts. I also thought for a long time it was because of a software update, but it was just me starting to run following the "Runna" workouts. (ok, but still, it should also work in that case).

I had this happen to me today,. I was doing a long training run and I had set an eat alert for every 6.5 km. I received no notifications over my 23 km run. I was following a course I had imported from Strava via connect. I'm a bit disappointed it didn't work, as I have a race coming up and was hoping to make use of the alerts!

That rings a bell actually.  Most of my workouts are part of a structured plan in readiness for my fast approaching marathon.  I seem to recall reading something about some alerts not being generated while in a structured/custom workout.  Fingers crossed it works on marathon day.

Was on a trail run this weekend that was on a planned course and using navigation.  I made note of the 'EAT' notice because of this post, mine worked just fine throughout.  It wasn't a structured workout , so the only alerts I got were for turns, laps and EAT every 20minutes.   So worked as expected.  

NikosCoulson  pretty quick easy check on your next non-workout run day , (easy run) try not using the requested workout.  Just follow it on your own and see if you get notices.  Or go for a walk (but as a 'run' activity) and see if it works.  Definitely want to be testing and fueling like you expect to during the marathon, gut training takes at least a few weeks/months to acclimate to higher carb intake during activities (especially at harder 'race' effort, although marathon pace might or might not be 'harder' depending on paces/experience).  getting down 3-4 gels an hour (or whatever fuel) takes a bit of getting used to for some people.

I've been testing fuelling strategies for a while to see which gels/drinks etc I get on with. I just fancied having a reminder rather than having to look at my watch. Lazy I know.  Good shout testing it on a walk. I've got a few rest days left until D-Day so could try that.
