Coach Dave Berdan

Great ruck today

I’ve been rucking more lately and starting to incorporate it as a cross-training option for the athletes I coach. It’s simple, effective, and a great way to build strength and muscular endurance without the pounding of running.

I’ll share more soon about why I’ve been doing it, the experiences that led me here, and how it’s already making a real difference in both my own training and the athletes I work with. I’ve had some eye-opening moments recently—things that didn’t make sense at the time, but make a lot more sense now. More to come later…

Can’t run this year? You can still spend your Sunday morning with us from the couch!

From 6:45am - 9:45am Booker Corrigan and Dave Berdan will provide LIVE coverage of the event on CorriganSportsNetwork.com !

I’ve been following Peter Attia, MD for years. His podcast, “The Drive”, is something I listen to often while running.

My first experience with him was his 2013 TED Talk, “What If We’re Wrong About Diabetes?” — where he shares a powerful story about realizing that lifestyle change, not medication alone, is the key to reversing and preventing metabolic disease. That moment reshaped the way he—and many others—think about health, longevity, and personal responsibility.

I’ve always appreciated that he’s willing to question conventional wisdom and challenge mainstream medicine when he believes there’s a better, evidence-based path forward.

“I went to Stanford Medical School, right? How many hours of education do you think I received on exercise?” Dr. Peter Attia asks Norah O’Donnell. The answer: zero. https://cbsn.ws/47kcBap

Looking for 10 runners training for the Baltimore Marathon.

I know this is last minute, but I’m launching my first-ever group coaching program, and it starts this Monday.

If you know anyone running the Baltimore Marathon, please share this with them. Your help means a lot.

This is a 16-week program designed to help you train smarter, stay consistent, and peak on race day—with support from someone who’s won this race twice.

You’ll get:
✔ A custom training plan synced to your watch through Final Surge App
✔ Monthly group coaching calls
✔ A private runner community
✔ Strength, recovery, and fueling guidance
✔ Strategy specific to the Baltimore course

This is my pilot group, and I’m looking to find 10 people to help me kick this off the right way. I will only do it if I get 10 people.

📅 Starts June 30

Longest run in a while! Amazing views of Baltimore County!

It’s been incredible helping Lindsay achieve her running goals! Seeing progress like hers reminds me why I focus on individualized, holistic coaching tailored to each runner’s unique journey.

Ready to take your running to the next level? DM me for more information!

Last weekend wrapped up Evan’s second season of XC and I could not be more proud of the way he has picked up “running”. He has worked his butt off…doing all of the little things…the things that I was lazy about!
So cool to see him work hard at something that means a lot to him and his teammates! The future is bright for !

Another beautiful Baltimore County trail run! This week I was at Loch Raven Reservoir. #trailrunning #baltimorerunning #runcoaching #runcoach
