Finding our way - Nora SerresThis week we welcome a guest from one of the most beautiful places in the world 🌎 🇳🇴Nora Serres is a PhD fellow with a green thumb, musical ear & love for the outdoors. In the episode we talk about her research, life in Norway, her journey as an athlete & more. Noras story speaks to the idea that each of us is in the process of finding our way. Our paths and experiences look different and she shares some moments that form a key part of her story and her process of finding her way in the sport, in research and in friendship. Her kindness and warmth as a person are two distinct things that stand out for me from this conversation. She advocates for connection, thought and people. I can't wait to see how her trail running season unfolds and what she grows next in her garden.Chapter Markers:00:00 - Welcome to Season 3!01:09 - Meet Nora Serres: Terrex athlete with musical talent 02:46- UTCT - impressions of South Africa08:52 - Finding our way - finding the outdoors through music12:30 - The playlist sessions - the early days of running18:18 - Family history - activity vs training19:41 - Research - the intersection of running and music24:36 - The work informed - personal experiences and her work29:32 - Divided focus - growing into space, running and research36:28 - Team Terrex- what did it change ?41:24 - Mentorship - women in sport & working together45:18 - Winter training - the benefits of skiing and rest52:49 - The planning - how does Nora structure her year01:05:20 - Closing remarks🌍 Connect with Trail Culture:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trailcultureza/Trail Culture Coaching: https://www.trailculture.co.za/Support those who support us:Carbon Endurance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carbon_endurance/Carben Endurance Wesbite: https://www.carbonendurance.co/precision-hydration-2📩 Follow Nora Serres Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/noraserres?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==
