Lara Hayward

• Location: London

Lara is based in London where she works as a sports lawyer, combining it with her passion for  the outdoors and good food. As well as writing for TiYK, Lara blogs for the Resolution! Review, a showcase for new dance work at The Place in London, assists with marketing for the the Women’s Sports Network and used to blog for the Pushing Limits project – which involves supporting serial adventurer James Ketchell on his attempt to complete the ultimate round the world triathlon.

Lara loves discovering new places that are off on the beaten track, finding bargain vintage clothing on Ebay or in charity shops and doing lots of voluntary work (to date she’s helped out in a hospice, on a conservation project and at loads of charity events). She is most proud of completing the London 2 Paris cycle ride and then arranging a cycle ride off the back of it that raised over £10,000 for charity. She tends to also get overly chuffed with her homemade yorkshire puddings.
