After 56 weeks, dozens of guests, and one full season of Post Run High, Kate and Jeremy sit down to reflect on what actually changed.

In this season-ending conversation, they look back on a year of movement-fueled interviews — what surprised them, what didn’t work, and what it really took to build a podcast from scratch. They share how Post Run High grew out of the Running Interview Show, why movement consistently leads to more honest conversations, and what they’ve learned from talking with founders, athletes, artists, journalists, and performers.

Together, they unpack the biggest themes that emerged across the season: discipline before glamour, reinvention as a true superpower, and how movement helps navigate both success and setback. Kate and Jeremy also look ahead to Season 2, sharing what’s next for the show alongside personal life updates, including marriage and major transitions.

A reflective, behind-the-scenes conversation about consistency, curiosity, and why some of the best insights come after the run.
