During the winter months, exercise is generally far from our minds. But to give us some inspiration, we decided to have a look at our fittest zaleb couples.

LJ van Zyl and Irvette van Blerk

SA’s World 400m hurdles bronze medallist, LJ got engaged to fellow athlete, road-running star Irvette van Blerk in December last year – and now they’re both heading to the London Olympics! Irvette recently grabbed the last spot on our Olympic marathon team when she completed the London Marathon, and LJ is one of our biggest medal hopefuls.
