Find Your Pace

This audiobook includes guided runs to help you progress to a faster 5k.

All it takes is the first step.

As a child, Emma Kirk-Odunubi loved to run, revelling in that sense of freedom and the feel of the breeze on her skin. But as she grew up, her passion for this most simple of activities waned, overtaken by all the distractions that come with adult life. It was only when faced with the loss of her beloved father that Emma returned to running, and rediscovered its joy and its power. Now a certified coach and running gait expert, in Find Your Pace Emma reveals how running saved her life, how it can help you too, and – crucially - how to do it in the way that works for your lifestyle.

Packed with practical, expert advice, including detailed guides and training plans for beginners, intermediate and advanced-level runners, Find Your Pace will 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.

Along the way, Emma dives into her many motivations for lacing up her trainers and hitting the road, trails or track - from releasing pent-up energy and feeling at home in her body, to processing grief and carving out the time she needed to explore and accept her sexuality. She looks at running in relation to race, community and self-confidence and gives everyone the tools required to get started, get better and get even more out of going for a run.

This relatable, funny and moving book will encourage you to run back to yourself, on your own track.
