Find Your Pace

All it takes is the first step.

In Find Your Pace, gait analyst and running coach Emma Kirk-Odunubi shares all of the joyful and unexpected ways that running changed her life for the better, and how it can change yours. She dives into the motivations behind why she runs: as a way to release pent up energy, a way to process grief and loss following her father’s death, a way to help her find community, a way to feel at home in her body and have time and space to think and explore her sexuality; the list goes on. Emma explores running in relation to race and finding a space where she has felt seen and found community. As she writes: you can’t be what you can’t see.

From running 4 marathons in 4 weeks across the world to completing 7015 burpees in 24 hours, Emma’s not afraid of challenges but as we learn, some of the greatest challenges are not physical feats. With her extensive experience as a coach, Emma also demystifies running and Finding Your Pace is packed with practical advice, including running and strength training plans, stories of other extraordinary people in the running world and top tips to help you run better, whatever that looks like for you. It’s not about speed or distance or competing with others: running is for everyone. This relatable, funny and moving book will encourage you to run towards yourself, on your own track.
