This week we’re joined by South African Hyrox powerhouse Danél Louw.
From stepping into the sport with her sights set firmly on Elite 15, to qualifying for World Champs in doubles alongside Vicky McIntosh, Danél’s rise has been fearless from day one.
We dive into:
- That incredible 59:29 Pro Solo in Istanbul — breaking sub-60 under pressure in a stacked fieldWhy she prefers leading from the front rather than chasingTurning weaknesses into strengthsWhat a typical Hyrox training week looks likeHow strength training made her a stronger, faster runnerBehind-the-scenes of her recent Adidas athlete camp and testing their newest shoe
Danél is competitive, composed, and completely all-in on her goals — and she genuinely believes she’s only scratching the surface. We loved this conversation and can’t wait to see what’s to come!
