    Recap of the 2026 Portland Marathon | Nesian Built Podcast Ep.66

    2026 Portland Marathon Recap 🏃‍♂️ | First Marathons & Advice for New Runners What’s up, everyone! In this episode, Mark and AJ sit down to recap their experience at the 2026 Portland Marathon and talk about the highs, the challenges, and everything that made race day memorable. We talk about Kayla, who decided to go straight into running a full marathon without having any other races under her belt, and Darren, a 15-year-old taking on his very first full marathon! Two different journeys, one big challenge, and some incredible stories to share. Mark also breaks down his experience running his third full marathon, reflecting on how far he’s come and what each marathon has taught him along the way. AJ also shares some advice for anyone looking to get into running. From lessons learned through his own marathon experiences to things he wishes he knew when he first started, this episode is all about sharing knowledge, encouraging others, and helping more people get into the sport. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, preparing for your first marathon, or just looking for that extra motivation to get off the couch and start moving, we hope this episode gives you something to take away. At the end of the day, running is about more than just the miles. It’s about challenging yourself, learning along the way, and seeing what you’re capable of.
