From Sideline To Starting Line: Our Editor's Entry Into Running with Jeremy Noessel

Published: Dec. 6, 2017, 5 a.m.

Our guest this week is an incredible guitar player, amazing singer song-writer, and the best audio editor you could ask for, and I\u2019m not just saying all that because he\u2019ll be reading this while he edits the show. :)

If you haven\u2019t already guessed, this week\u2019s guest is none other than Run to the Top editor, Jeremy Noessel.

In addition to playing in 3 bands in the Rhode Island / Connecticut / Massachusetts area and working on several podcasts, Jeremy and his wife, Louise, are also writing an e-book for guitarists and musicians, will be soon launching a blog, and also planning his own podcast.

I\u2019ve been wanting to have Jeremy on the show for some time now because his story is seriously one of a kind.

\xa0

Jeremy started editing the podcast back when Tina Muir was hosting the show, and since then he\u2019s not only helped us take the show to a whole new level, but the podcast has inspired him to start running again after about a 25-year hiatus.

Jeremy\u2019s skill and incredible attention to detail is a large part of the reason Run to the Top is where it is today as Jeremy has not only improved the show\u2019s audio quality tenfold, but, through constant guidance and constructive feedback, he\u2019s also helped me become a better, more confident podcaster.

\xa0

He is a true pleasure to work with, and I\u2019m so excited to have him on the show today to share a little behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making Run to the Top, how the show inspired him to pick up running again, and the lessons he\u2019s gained from editing both Run To The Top and our daily podcast, Extra Kick.

Quotes by Jeremy:

\u201cI\u2019ve had the benefit of having all of this information that I\u2019ve gotten from the podcasts to avoid some of the common beginners\u2019 pitfalls.\u201d

\u201cOn the starting line I kept repeating to myself: 1. Have fun, 2. Don\u2019t get hurt, 3. Start slow.\u201d

\u201cThere was a point in time where I didn\u2019t think I would ever NOT Run/Walk.\u201d

\u201cI have had really no formal instruction AT ALL; no formal coaching, so take anything I say with a grain of salt.\u201d

\u201cRunning can\u2019t be your everything. And really, nothing should be your everything.\u201d
