To receive a GPS signal your Suunto watch needs to locate satellites that are orbiting the Earth. The better the watch knows where the satellites are located, the quicker it will receive the signal. Since the satellites are moving constantly, the new locations of the satellites need to be synced to your watch. Simply put, to find the satellites quicker, sync your watch regularly with Suunto app. Suunto app sync the latest, seven-day satellite orbit forecast to your watch so it knows where to look. If you want to optimize and find the signal quickly, sync the watch as close to your activity as possible. The data that is synced to your watch is global. So even if you sync your watch in New York and start your run 12 hours later in Chamonix, there is no need to re-sync. Image: © Bruno LongGet support for your Suunto product at support

When it comes to the best food for runners, nothing quite beats homemade treats, says Emelie Forsberg. “I love to bake,” says the Swedish trail running sensation. Here's her favorite cookie recipe. If it's good enough for her... 100 grams butter (I prefer butter when I´m in the north, just because I love the feeling of trying to eat what we can find here) 0.25 liter of flour (whatever you prefer, I use coconut and wheat) 0.2 liter of oats 2 spoons of raw sugar (take a little more or less, all depending what you think tastes good!) 100 grams of dark chocolate 0.5 dl hazelnuts 1 table spoon of baking soda Warm the butter a little until it softens, not melts completely. Chop the chocolate and the hazelnuts, stir everything together. Put them in the oven for 15-17 minutes at 175° C.

Keeping up with Kilian Jornet is a full time job for his fans this summer. Less than a month after ascending north America's highest mountain Denali in record time the trail-running, speed-ascending legend has smashed another record – this time the Hardrock 100 ultra run. It's one of the world's toughest ultras and the most famous in America. But help is at hand. Thanks to the new connected capabilities of the Ambit3, it's possible to relive and share Kilian's epic feat, in which he knocked 42 minutes off the previous record to finish in a time of 22h 41m. The video below reveals just how fast he was running. The Hardrock, a 160km race with a total climb of 20,722m, holds legendary status for ultra runners the world over and had been on Kilian's tick list since he was a teenager. “I’m thrilled for this result, this was the last race left from the list I made when I was 16. I’m very satisfied both for the victory and the record, but also because I’ve had very good feeling from the begining. It has been almost a perfect race,” said Kilian after the race.“The path is very beautiful, both for the track and the landscapes,” he added. It’s one of this races that I wouldn’t let any single part left, it was great to run here. The lowest point of the race is at 3.000m so it’s a very technical race in high height, which makes it special. Without even hesitate, this is one of the nicest races I’ve ever done.” Thought this was epic? Prepare to be amazed by Kilian's record ascent of Denali. Photo: ©Jordi Saragossa

In case anyone was hoping Emelie Forsberg might take it easy after being crowned the 2014 Skyrunning ultra world champion, they're going to disappointed. Fresh from her win at the Mt Blanc 80 km race, Emelie returned home to catch up with some friends. But then she thought going for a run up Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain would be a fun addition to the itinerary. It will surprise no one that she returned from the summit having broken the overall (men's) record. “I didn't have it in mind to go for the record when I decided to go visit my friends,” she tells us. “But the idea came and so I took off. It's a super nice route with some scrambling and climbing and it was such a beautiful morning. It was so great to share the start and finish with my friends!” “It feels pretty cool to have the overall record time – on Sweden´s highest mountain too!” she adds. The route was 14 km and featured 1,400 m of ascent. The previous record was 2h 17m.

Emelie Forsberg has just taken a stunning victory in the Mont Blanc marathon 80km race. But it's not her epic win she's talking about – nor the fact it means she's now the 2014 Skyrunning Ultra champion. Take a look at her Facebook page and you'll see it's her love of running and her passion for the mountains that comes across. “From my heart I can truly say I enjoyed every second of it,” she writes. “Pure skyrunning. J´adore! I love!”Before the race, we asked her exactly why she loves to run. Her answer is both refreshing and inspiring: “It's hard to describe it's so good,” she says. “You get a really good feeling in your legs. You feel so light – you're just flowing over the ground. Every uphill is super easy. Maybe you reach the summit and you just want to go further. Everything is connected. You feel like really wow, I could go on forever, or wow, what a great feeling, this is so beautiful.” “You can still get a great run even when it's also a rainy day and you have to really push yourself to go out the door,” she adds. “You're always super happy you got out there.”For Emelie, running is all about pleasure. “It is never difficult or hard!” she says, although she admits that it can get tough in a race. As for what she thinks about for all those hours on the trail, she says she tries to cultivate a state of 'mindfulness'. “If I have things that I think about, I make a list but when I have done that I'm less in my mind. With mindfulness you don't think about anything. You are just there – and nothing more.” Image ©DROZ PHOTO

There are some athletes who have printed spreadsheets and detailed training schedules mapped out months in advance. Then there are athletes like Emelie Forsberg, who's more a 'back-of-an-envelope' kind of a girl. She trains on feeling and goes for races for the experience as much as the competition. Emelie's 2014 ambitions are suprisingly modest: “I just want to keep it together – that's an important goal,” she says. “To realise your limits and what you can do and not push yourself too hard – that is always going to be my biggest goal. It's a big goal, maybe not that interesting but that's who I am.” That's not to say she doesn't have some big plans for the year. But we'll let her artwork do the talking...
