Emma Kinrade
Emma has had a lifelong interest in sports & nutrition & in the interaction that these have on a healthy body and mind. She studied Sports Science & Biology as an undergraduate and followed this up with a Post Graduate degree in Nutrition & Dietetics. Her career in Dietetics has included clinical roles, health promotion and a long spell in Higher Education as a lecturer in Nutrition & Dietetics at Glasgow Caledonian University. Alongside this she maintained her interest in sports nutrition & completed the IOC Diploma in Sports Nutrition, later converting this to an MSc from Stirling University. Her research project investigated the nutrition practices of Ultra-endurance runners before & during a 24-hour ultra-endurance event. This was later published in Frontiers of Physiology journal.
For the past 2 years Emma has worked as a freelance dietitian focusing on sports nutrition but retaining clinical work in areas such as cancer care and Parkinson’s disease. She particularly enjoys working with younger clients and helping them to build healthy foundations to support their sports & wellbeing.
Emma has been a runner for as long as she can remember and has experienced training and competing at track & field, cross country, hill running, road running at all distances and more recently has ventured into Ultra running. She completed her first ultra race in 2025 (The LAP anti-clockwise in the Lake District), a feat she undertook to have that lived experience to support her Ultra endurance clients.
