Excellence in Motion is a new interview-led series built around lived experience. By pairing clinical expertise with elite sporting insight, the series platforms honest discussion about how movement supports health, resilience, and quality of life at every stage.
Our second feature brings together Prof. Mark Dayer, consultant cardiologist at Mater Private Network Dublin, and Irish sprint hurdler and record holder, Sarah Lavin. Their conversation looks back on how Sarah discovered her love of hurdling, her competitive nature, her goals for the coming years, life after sport, and the importance of health and fueling your body correctly.
