David Roche has become the latest high‑profile ultra-running star to build CurraNZ into his daily training routine, and he’s talking about it with trademark enthusiasm in his Saturday email series for The Feed and on his podcast.
David Roche is a leading ultrarunner, 2024 Leadville 100 champion and course-record holder, and one of the most influential coaches in trail and ultra-running through his Some Work All Play platform.
He coaches a deep roster of elite and age‑group athletes worldwide, which makes his training habits and product choices especially impactful for the global ultra community.
In his Saturday emails for The Feed, David explains that every day after training he takes First Endurance Multi‑V “along with CurraNZ,” describing CurraNZ as a product with “amazing” data on recovery and performance that he now uses post‑workout.
On his podcast, he shares that CurraNZ had been on his radar for years, but after a brutal experience at Western States he turned to it in desperation and “found my recovery rate sky rocketed,” calling the supplement a “bleeding edge thing that can improve how you perform and adapt.”
CurraNZ is a New Zealand blackcurrant extract rich in anthocyanins, compounds that support blood flow and help manage inflammation and oxidative stress - mechanisms that underpin better endurance, faster recovery and improved adaptation to train.
