Emma Kirk-Odunubi
Host
Emma Kirk-Odunubi is a gait analyst, footwear expert, and qualified sports scientist with over 15+ years of experience in the running industry – ever since her first job at age 13, learning how to fit running shoes. She studied at Brunel University, graduating with a 2:1 BSc in Sports Science, where she combined academic theory with a growing passion for biomechanics and performance. That foundation now underpins her evidence-based approach to coaching and athlete development.
She’s not only been an ambassador for major global sports brands, but she also used to work with them B2B as a run footwear buyer in her previous role where her passion for running shoes continued to blossom. She is no stranger to a challenge herself. From 15+ marathons and multiple half marathons to indoor Ironman events and 24-hour fitness fundraisers, Emma walks the talk (or runs it, rather).
Today, Emma coaches high-energy treadmill classes at Third Space and works 1:1 with runners and athletes through her platform To The Finish Line Coaching, helping them crush their goals with smart, strength-focused training and science-backed insight.
Emma is a self-confessed biomechanics nerd with a gift for matching the right shoe to the right runner. Drawing on her background as a Strength & Conditioning coach, she helps athletes understand their form, prevent injury, and build power from the ground up.
