{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"RIM Waffle","slug":"rimwaffle","podcastDescription":"

A middle aged man's journey of training for an Ironman competition from zero.

Welcome to The RIM Waffle Podcast, where two cousins take on one epic challenge: Ironman Wales.

Join Dave (“The Rusty Iron Man”) and Cliff (ex-Grenadier Guard and Ironman veteran) as they train, test, and waffle their way through a year of sweat, setbacks, and serious endurance… with a lot of laughs in between.

Expect honest chat, expert guests, product testing, and plenty of midlife chaos - all fuelled by coffee, cow-print, and questionable life choices.

Because if you can’t laugh while suffering through the ultimate Triathlon, when can you?

Follow the journey from Rusty to Ironman.

In this episode of The RIM Waffle Podcast, Dave sits down with Luke and Andy to talk rugby memories, old injuries, very different training styles, and the reality of taking on Ironman with bodies that have already taken a few hits. From past triathlon experiences to clothing malfunctions, this one’s all banter, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom.
