I went through the Atlanta airport at the height of the delays and lived to tell about it! There is a store in the Richmond area called Ollie's that requires some explanation. I signed up for another half marathon so I have to keep doing long runs. A... more

Dave always provides great content. His show has been a staple of my running playlist for over a decade now. He has great guests come on to discuss the wonderful world of running as well. I had the privelege of meeting Dave while I was in Virginia for a marathon. He is a genuine and kind person. It is definitely worth a listen. Keep up the great work Dave!
First time listening will be my last. Ashland Dave spent most of his hour long race report for the night train 50k bad mouthing another runner and informing the audience how they could look him up. Not cool Dave.
A great podcast for all runners from beginning 5k runners and experienced ultra runners. Ashland Dave provides a supportive, inclusive and informative podcast about the ups and downs of running. Although he describes himself as "a middle of the pack nobody”, I find Dave to be funny, thoughtful and full of good advice. Give him a listen.
This was a great podcast, Dave. I have done the race (Oak Mountain 50K) a few times and Neil sums things up well. It is not an easy course, but is very scenic. My only DNF occurred here one year, and so I have a score to settle!
Enjoying your podcast as usual!

I have been listening to Dave for a over a year and I love the podcast. It inspires me to not be lazy and get moving. It also reminds me that I don't need to run against anyone but me. I hope Dave will continue the podcast. I really enjoy it and always take something from every show that I can use.
