On today's episode we have Jessica Zapotechne aka Jessie Zapo who is an artist, wellness professional and performance running coach based in New York City and is the founder and coach of Girls Run NYC, a women's collective. Jessie currently leads the Adidas Runners Communities in North America and has a passion of making the running space more inclusive for women with a focus on supporting the development of more female coaches and leaders in their respective communities. Have a listen as we chat with Jessie about her art, coaching practices, philosophy and all things running!

As I type these show notes, I'm just an hour removed from learning about the 26-year-old woman who was shot during her run last night in Tennessee. My heart aches for so many whom, regardless of gender identity, fear for their safety when they go outside and do the thing that once made them feel free. For today's episode, I'm chatting with my dear friend and Adidas Runners Performance Coach and Girls Run NYC founder Jessie Zapo about how we can do better, what allyship looks like for the running community, and our history with harassment on the run.

Sashah and Tim talk with Jessie Zapo, Adidas Runners Performance Coach + Captain and Girls Run NYC founder, on creating safe spaces for women in running, Bridge Runner long runs, the Mini10K and the Price is Right.

Jessica (Jessie) Zapotechne (Zapo) has crafted a career and life at the intersection of mental and physical health through the unique modalities of Art Therapy and Ultra Marathon Coaching/Running. Jessie brings such a special perspective on approaching mental health as well as the importance of being whole to be well. Take a listen!

Jessie Zapo never thought of herself as a runner, but after years of contributing to the urban running culture in NYC with Bridgerunners and founding Black Roses with Knox Robinson, she stepped out on her own to create Girls Run NYC. In the latest episode of Let’s Get Uncomfortable she shares her experiences of becoming a coach in the very male dominated NYC scene, the strides that Adidas has taken to add more women and minorities as coaches and taking on the Speed Project.

On Sunday, June 14th, hundreds of New York City runners gathered at the East River Amphitheatre for a two-mile protest run against racial injustice and police brutality in America. The run was organized by Coffey – who was recently a guest on our show and has emerged as one of the city's most vocal activists in the fight against racism. He called on all New York City runners to come together and run together as one community. He initially expected 40 to 60 people to show up but there were hundreds. It was further proof that everyone in the running community will take the time to run together, protest together, listen together and make change together. After the run, there was a speaker series with crew leaders sharing personal stories of their encounters with racism, what it means to be Black in America and how you can help make a change. Coffey granted us permission to share the audio from the conversation. The speakers are listed below with timestamps so that you can pick up on hearing everything they had to share because it's important. We have also included their respective Instagram handles so you can follow them.

This week’s radical is Jessie Zapo. She is a lifelong long-distance runner and coach, and creative arts therapist by trade. Jessie has been practicing art therapy for nearly 15 years in New York City in every way, from in public schools to private practice. More than anything else, she strives to serve the underserved, which she does through iterations of her personal and professional life. Throughout our conversation, Zapo shares how she is actively redesigning the ways that women exercise and engage in fitness despite the ways that society discourages their physical activity. She explains how women are often discouraged from participating in sports starting at age 14, along with how she helps women deal with feeling disconnected from their bodies. Going deeper, Jessie shares about her art, how it’s influenced her life, and what a day in an art therapist’s life looks like.

Joining Adrienne in the studio this week is the incredible Jessie Zapo. Dubbed “the first lady of running” by Charlie Dark (Run Dem Crew London), Jessie was an early member of the New York City based running group the Bridgerunners. Jessie’s work as a member, leader and pacer with Bridgerunners over close to a seven year span led her to help create a space for women and new runners in New York City’s emerging “urban running” community. Sometimes in front of the camera as an influencer but most often behind the scenes, Jessie has been actively involved in NYC since 2005 and has been dedicated to creating unique running experiences. She’s traveled nationally and internationally through running and has primarily focused on the community building aspect that running can provide.

The first episode of the show revolves around the theme of taking care of those around us, as well as of ourselves. The responsibilities and expectations that taking care of others bring, and the pressure that comes from being in the position of caretaker. I am joined by Jessie Zapo, a coach for Adidas Runners, and the founder of Girls Run NYC, who is as well an art therapist, and documentarian. Jessie, who plays the part of care taker in most of her relationships, discusses her role during The Speed Project, a humbling experience in the Adidas Infinite Trails World Championships, and how over the years, in different ways, others have provided care for Jessie and how she has learned to let them.

Jessie Zapo is a coach and art therapist, who uses running as a tool to unlock wellness in those she coaches with Girls Run NYC. Jessie is a pioneer in the urban running crew movement and a huge inspiration in the running community.

Jessie Zapo has been called a lot of things in the realm of running: Originator, Innovator, and the First Lady of Running, to name a few. But, these nicknames and titles are not mere superlatives. Here's why: Jessie was one of the original members of the New York-based, urban running crew BridgeRunners; she is one of the founders of the "Bridge The Gap" movement; she cofounded another wildly successful urban running crew called Black Roses NYC; and currently, she leads yet another running crew she started called Girls Run NYC.
