@jessiezapo has spent majority of her life giving people the tools she needed most, art, running, space to breathe. Now she’s coaching hundreds, training for her first 100-miler, and finally learning to put herself first.New interview on @substack . Link in bio.📸 @samayide by @jessiezapo

The best shoe is one that you dont think about at all. Instead you just lose yourself in the RUN.The HYPERBOOST EDGE is a super trainer (without a carbon plate) #HYPERBOOST @adidas @adidasrunning by @jessiezapo

CAN RUNNING CLUBS be part of acure for the loneliness epidemic?a very timely topic!I enjoyed being alongside some amazing leaders in the running spacewho are creating and holding space for people through Run Clubs for a thought provoking panel brought together by @ateam.co and moderatedby @liaporcelli My thoughts are:We as leaders and holders of space have a unique opportunity to not only help people connect to themselves through RUNNING but also to others-- and why would we not want to create a space for meaningful friendships and fellowship? AND that also means we need to be intentional about our spaces and hold people accountable to treating one another with dignity and respect-- in the same way you would expect friends, family members, co-workers and teammates in any other communal environment. I've made some of the best friendships I have through RUNNING and met some of my favorite people. My goal is that the groups and spaces we create will help others to also CONNECT in meaningful ways. Curious to know what YOU think!?@jeslynnyc @swartzcenter @jackgilbert_ @blackpearlruns by @jessiezapo
