Coach Shalini is an RRCA-certified coach who has been a part of RHWB since Season 2. She was introduced to running in 2019 by her neighbor and good friend, Coach Bala. Initially, she started running for fitness, but over time, she began to cherish the “me” time during long runs and developed a passion for the sport. To date, she has completed four half marathons and three full marathons. Her first half marathon was at Newport, and she recently completed the Shape Half Marathon in New York. Now, she continues to run for fun and health.
Shalini lives in Edison, NJ, with her husband and two loving daughters. She enjoys reading, cooking, hiking, and spending time outdoors. Professionally, she has been working as a pediatrician for about 15 years.
Coach Shalini joined RHWB as an assistant coach in Season 7, and she hopes to help others discover the joys of running.
