7 adventure films to watch during the holidays
Race to the Summit
Two years ago, Dani Arnold completed the biggest project of his life: climbing the six large Alpine north faces – alone and in record time. The project occupied, accompanied and shaped him over a period of 10 years. Now the Netflix is devoting a 90-minute report to three of these climbs.
Race to the Summit features the dizzying feats of Dani Arnold and the late Ueli Steck, two great Swiss alpinists and long-time Suunto ambassadors. Experienced mountaineers need a day or more to climb the infamous north faces of the Eiger or Matterhorn. But Dani and Ueli climbed them alone in less than three hours. The duel thrilled the climbing world and electrified the media.
Watch the trailer above and the full film on Netflix.
Lost Then Found
TDS winning athlete Christian Meier shares his inspiring story in Lost Then Found. Christian started his athletic career as a cyclist and has since made a transition from the pro peloton to the top of ultra-running.
”Life is a constant evolution of who you are as a person and Lost Then Found marks an important turning point in my life not only as an athlete but as an individual. From losing cycling to finding trail running this is a story of self-discovery and I am happy to be able to share that journey,” says Christian.
Arctic Lines – Sunny Car Center
In the Arctic Lines video series, backcountry snowboarder Antti Autti explores the vast wilderness of northern Finland, Sweden, and Norway. The series is now in its third season, and in the latest episode, 'Sunny Car Center,' Antti seeks—and finds—a new special zone in Northern Norway.
”Exploring expands your horizons and finding new locations is one of the most important aspects of freeriding,” says Antti.
Balkan Express
Ski mountaineers Jochen Mesle and Max Kroneck rode 2500 km from Greece to Germany – and stopped to ski along the way. Balkan Express, their film about the adventure, has won acclaim at international film festivals.
“We really wanted to experience some mountains, cultures, people we didn't know. We looked at a map of Europe and saw that the Balkans are pretty interesting. The sport side wasn’t the main focus of the project. It was about getting to know the culture and people,” says Max.
Nomadland – Bikepacking in Mongolia
Alba Xandri and Erreka Calmet found beautiful landscapes, friendly people and an epic adventure while bikepacking in in the Mongolian grasslands – and made a film about it.
”Mongolia far exceeded our expectations. It is a backcountry bikepacker’s paradise,” says Alba.
Ride to Ski – Bikepacking adventure through the Dolomites
Lack of snow forced Henna Palosaari to think outside the box and led her to invite two of her friends, Sami Sauri and Malva Björkman, on a bike & ski adventure. The 9-day journey that combined two of her favorite sports, turned out to be a beautiful mix of sweat, laughs, ice, snow, and friendship.
”It wasn’t a pure sufferfest,” Henna laughs.
Max Ammer, Raja Ampat and the richest reefs in the world
This is an oldie but goldie: Max Ammer, founder of Papua Diving and two Eco Resorts, Sorido Bay and Kri Eco Resort, shows us why these incredible projects are more than just places to stay, dive and enjoy the unique ecosystems.
Over the past 30 years, a remarkable conservation project has unfolded. The local team, with unwavering dedication, has prioritized the protection of the flourishing ecosystem. This strategic focus has proven to be wise, as the tangible outcomes of their hard work, long-term planning, and precise execution are evident in the thriving fish and coral counts. This stands as a rare case where the reefs are experiencing unprecedented richness – and gives hope for other areas as well.

Suuntoでリカバリーを確認する4つの方法
リカバリーはトレーニングの重要な要素であり、運動によるストレスから身体を修復し、適応させるために欠かせません。リカバリー中には、身体がエネルギーを補充し、損傷した筋組織を修復するとともに、将来の身体的負荷によりよく対応できるよう筋肉や結合組織を強化します。十分なリカバリーがないと、身体はオーバートレーニングの状態に陥り、疲労、パフォーマンス低下、けがのリスク増加につながる可能性があります。
Suunto GPSウォッチと Suunto アプリの Training Zone は、心拍変動、睡眠、トレーニングストレスバランス、ワークアウト後の主観的な感覚といった指標をもとに、リカバリーの記録と分析をサポートします。
心拍変動でリカバリーを確認する
心拍変動(HRV)は、連続する心拍の間隔のばらつきを測定するもので、自律神経系のバランスや全体的な健康状態を知るうえで有用な指標です。HRV は単なる心拍数ではなく、拍動間隔の変動を見ています。
一般的に HRV が高いほど、自律神経系の適応力が高く、身体がストレスにうまく対処できていることを示します。高強度トレーニング、精神的ストレス、体調不良など、さまざまな要因が HRV の値に影響します。Suunto Race、Suunto Vertical、Suunto 9 Peak Pro は、睡眠中の HRV トラッキングに対応しており、比較しやすいデータを手軽に取得できます。
HRV データの解釈は個人差が大きく、通常はその人の通常範囲内で値が高いほど、自律神経のバランスが良好であることを示します。Suunto では、60日間のデータをもとに個人ごとの通常範囲を定義し、直近7日間の移動平均をその基準と比較します。
HRV が継続的に低い場合は、慢性的なストレス、睡眠不足、オーバートレーニング、または潜在的な健康上の問題などにより、リカバリー状態が低下している可能性があります。強度の高いトレーニングやレースの後に、HRV が一時的に通常範囲を下回るのは自然なことです。一方、アプリで黄色や赤色の警告が表示されるような異常に高い HRV は、過剰なリカバリー状態(副交感神経活動)を示している可能性があり、蓄積したストレスへの反応として現れることがあります。
Suunto の HRV トラッキングについて詳しく見る
どれだけ睡眠を取れているかを把握する
睡眠は、運動によって損傷した組織を身体が修復・再生する時間であり、リカバリーにおいて非常に重要な役割を果たします。睡眠中、身体は筋肉の生成と修復を助ける成長ホルモンを分泌し、免疫系は炎症や感染に対抗するサイトカインを放出します。さらに、睡眠は食欲や代謝に関わるホルモンの調整にも関与しており、体重管理や全体的な健康状態にも影響します。
睡眠不足は、パフォーマンス低下、けがのリスク増加、そのほか健康への悪影響につながる可能性があります。リカバリーを最適化するには、毎晩少なくとも 7〜9 時間の質の高い睡眠を目指し、就寝時刻と起床時刻を一定にした規則的な睡眠習慣を整えることが重要です。
睡眠を記録するには、ウォッチ設定で睡眠トラッキングを有効にし、就寝中もウォッチを装着する必要があります。設定では就寝時間も定義します。ウォッチはその時間帯をもとに睡眠中であることを判定し、その間の睡眠を1つのセッションとして記録します。たとえば夜中に水を飲むために起きた場合でも、その後の睡眠は同じセッションとしてカウントされます。
起床すると、睡眠のサマリーが表示されます。サマリーには、たとえば平均心拍数、最低心拍数、総睡眠時間、推定覚醒時間、深い睡眠の時間などが含まれます。
睡眠サマリーに加えて、Suunto Vertical、Suunto Race、Suunto 9 Peak Pro では睡眠ウィジェットを使って全体的な睡眠傾向を確認できます。ウォッチを Suunto アプリと同期すると、さらに詳しい睡眠データや傾向も確認できます。
睡眠を改善する6つの方法を読む
長期と短期のトレーニング負荷のバランスを把握する
トレーニングストレススコア(TSS)は、トレーニングが身体に与える負荷を数値化する指標です。この負荷は時間とともに蓄積されます。これを示すのが、TSS の加重7日平均である Acute Training Load(ACL)と、TSS の加重42日平均である Chronic Training Load(CTL)です。CTL は「フィットネス」とも呼ばれ、どれだけ、あるいはどれほど高い強度でトレーニングしてきたかを示します。
この2つの累積トレーニングストレス指標を比較することで、Training Stress Balance(TSB)を確認できます。急性負荷が慢性負荷より小さい場合、TSB はプラスとなり、直近のトレーニングがここ数週間より軽めだったことを示します。
TSB がプラスであれば、十分に回復しており、トレーニング負荷を高める準備ができている可能性があります。一方、TSB がマイナスの場合は、負荷を増やす前により多くの休養や回復時間が必要かもしれません。TSB を目安にすることで、トレーニングを最適化し、けがや燃え尽きのリスクを抑えやすくなります。
Training stress score について詳しく見る
主観的な感覚も信頼する
アクティビティ後の感覚を記録することで、全体的なリカバリー状態を知るための有用なヒントが得られます。運動後の感覚が下向きの傾向を示し始めたら、何かがうまくいっていないサインかもしれません。負荷をかけすぎている、十分に回復できていない、あるいは体調を崩しかけている可能性があります。休息を取る、または内容を変えてみることを検討してください。
アクティビティを保存する際に、ウォッチ上で感覚を追加できます。その後、Suunto アプリの Training Zone で感覚の推移を確認できます。アプリでは、今週分と過去6週間分の主観的な運動後の感覚が表示されます。
