- Awesome Podcast
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.
Apple Podcasts2RecyclesaurusUnited States9 years ago - You could be lining up next to Ashland 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.
Apple Podcasts5TkmycallUnited States11 years ago - Sweeping the Course
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!

Apple Podcasts5michaelwdavisUnited States15 years ago - Don't miss out on Ashland Dave!
A great podcast if you want a "virtual partner" on your runs. Sure is nice to have "Ashland Dave" go with me on the iPod for on some of my boring runs. I laugh out loud at him sometimes. He probably doesn't even think he is funny, but he is.
