Braden Currie, 29 of Wanaka, New Zealand, is the 2015 Xterra Asia Pacific Champion (1.5K ocean swim, 34K mountain bike and 10K trail run)

PREPARE

“Two weeks before an event, I do a cycling session with high cadence to help my body prepare for a run. This includes: 12 minutes at 3:20 to 3:25 pace, 2 minutes recovery, 8 minutes at 3.15 to 3.20, 2 minutes recovery, 4 minutes at 3.10 pace or faster, finishing off with a 10 minute easy ride.”

ACTIVATE

“I run on inclines to help activate and strengthen the muscles that are sometimes missed when training on flat surfaces. I focus on keeping my knees high when I’m climbing and planting my whole foot on the ground before I push off.”

RECOVER

“Between sessions I focus on recovery and rest. I ice bath, foam roll, have massages and wear compression socks. My diet is super clean during this time. I stay off coffee and load up on magnesium to give my adrenal glands a bit of a boost before I ask a lot of them.”
