Danél Louw: Crushing E15 Doubles & going sub 60 Pro Solo in Hyrox.

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 field
  • Why she prefers leading from the front rather than chasing
  • Turning weaknesses into strengths
  • What a typical Hyrox training week looks like
  • How strength training made her a stronger, faster runner
  • Behind-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!
