About Kathy
Kathy Griest has successfully taught the ChiRunning method to thousands of people with profound results. After more than 30 years of running, Kathy still enjoys staying in shape enough to be able to go out and run any distance she wants. She has gone from the 5K distance to the love of ultrarunning in 1994. Due to the demand of the ultras, she became interested in ChiRunning after she noticed the toll the ultras were taking on her body. Kathy became a certified ChiRunning Instructor in March 2004. She has worked for the world renowned Golden Door Spa in Escondido, CA as a ChiRunning Instructor and Massage Therapist from Aug 2001 until Dec 31,2005. She is the recipient of the Golden Door 2004 and 2005 Guest Service Employee of the Year Award. She is now dedicating her time completely to teaching the ChiRunning/ChiWalking technique. Kathy has been personally trained by Danny Dreyer and awarded the title ChiRunning/ChiWalking Master instructor in Oct 2004. Kathy has traveled with Danny, assisting in several workshops and certifying the next generation of ChiRunning Instructors.
