Saurabh Pradhan
Coach
"I don’t run to add days to my life. I run to add life to my days."
This Texas coach have been coaching for multiple seasons and a favorite among his runners! Saurabh is a RRCA certified coach lives in Houston with his wife Aparna, daughters Nandini and Radha and his parents.
Started as an experiment back in 2013 with his friend and now coach Anirudha, he did his first half marathon (using tips and tricks from google/ running apps etc). Because of the back injury, he was out of action from any high impact sports for multiple years.
In December 2019, when he was introduced to RHWB(Season 5), it changed the world for him. Saurabh realized the consistency and perseverance not only healed his back injury but also made him a strong runner season over season.
He joined coaching side of RHWB from Season 7. Saurabh has so far completed 5+ full marathon races at various locations.
His personal experiences have fueled his coaching and helped him connect with so many runners. His approach—focusing on one on one guidance and feedback —really seems to resonate with his athletes, helping them achieve their best.
From his first half marathon in 2013 to now coaching over 100 runners, Saurabh has clearly evolved into a beloved figure in the running community. His ability to give personalized guidance, along with his joyful spirit and love for travel, makes him stand out not just as a coach but as a friend and motivator. His influence is likely felt well beyond the track or road, and it's no surprise that many of his friends and family have followed his lead and joined the RHWB community!
