You’re Not Alone — I’ll Help You Train With Confidence, Clarity, and Accountability

You want to feel strong and confident on race day — but figuring out how to train, stay healthy, and know what really matters each week can be a lot.

You don’t need a generic plan. You need a coach who’s been there, knows the course, and can guide you all the way to the finish line.

MEET COACH DAVE BERDAN

Dave has coached hundreds of runners over the past 20 years—and been one himself for more than three decades. From long solo training runs to the pressure of race day, he knows what it takes to perform—and more importantly, how to stay healthy and consistent.

A two-time Baltimore Marathon winner, former collegiate head coach, and race-day commentator for WBAL-TV and Corrigan Sports events, Dave brings both experience and perspective. His mission now? To help everyday runners train with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

 

Individualized Training, Built for You

Every runner gets a fully custom program built around your background, goals, time availability, and current fitness — delivered via Final Surge.

Group Accountability + 1-on-1 Support

Stay connected through monthly coaching calls, Q&A check-ins, and a private community space where you can ask questions, share wins, and learn from others.
