Post Run High

Post Run High is a podcast about honest conversations that happen when people slow down and let their guard drop.

Hosted by Kate Mackz, the show brings together founders, creators, athletes, artists, and thinkers to talk about performance, identity, pressure, and the moments that shape who we become. Recorded after a run, walk, or shared movement, these conversations tap into the clarity that often comes when the body is tired and the mind is open.

This isn’t a show about success on paper. It’s about what people carry behind the scenes — how they cope with doubt, navigate change, stay disciplined, and keep going when things get hard. Post Run High is a space for reflection, perspective, and real insight you can take into your own life.

Dr. Courtney Conley is one of the leading voices in foot health and human movement — and this conversation will completely change the way you think about your body from the ground up. In this episode, we dive into why modern footwear and modern life may be weakening our feet more than we realize, why so many people assume pain is just a normal part of aging, and how strengthening your feet can play a major role in the way you move throughout your life.

We talk about the hidden role our feet play in everyday movement, the surprising importance of toe strength and mobility, how chronic foot pain develops, and the simple daily habits that can help you move and age better. Dr. Courtney also shares her own story — from ballet dancer and runner dealing with constant foot pain to becoming a specialist helping people rebuild strength from the ground up.

This episode is packed with practical takeaways on foot health, movement, strength training, walking, footwear, longevity, and why being proactive about your body now matters more than waiting until pain shows up later.
