The Midnight Club is a podcast designed for those of us who spend several hours per week training for events, many times sacrificing time from friends, family and work, and are happy to just be out there, giving it their all, despite not reaching a podium finish, or sometimes not finishing at all. The origin of the name comes from the original structure of an Ironman race. Participants would start at 7 am and have 17 hours to complete the course by midnight. While I find inspiration by well accomplished endurance athletes, and try to follow their example, I also find motivation by the average athlete that has put in so much work just to participate in an event. I still would love to interview people who have and are accomplishing great things. However, I also want to talk to regular folks many of us have not heard of, and get their stories, too.

Clinton and Kelly are joined by David Tonge, a coach, swimmer and triathlete from Cardiff, Wales. In 2021 he crushed a world record by swimming 24 hours in an endless pool, swimming all 55km in a full wetsuit.
We discuss the preparation, nutrition and mental grit needed to swim a full 24 hours. David raised ten thousand pounds for Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff.
David runs an endless swimming pool training center, Heathwood Swimming, where he trains elite as well as entry level swimmers.
Find out what he's up to on Instagram @davetongeswim and @heathwoodswimming.
