Spencer Matthews has clocked a personal best marathon time of 2:49, with Runner's World reporting his training was built around maths, science, and consistency. The result marks a solid result for the British television personality who has become a serious endurance runner.

The time is a credible result at any level, and his approach to training has been noted for its structured, analytical style. Rather than relying on raw effort alone, Matthews followed a disciplined, numbers-based program.

Matthews is married to Vogue Williams, who has drawn coverage of her own this week after hitting back at online criticism. Those critics took issue with her choices as a new mother by going out with her one-month-old baby. Williams spoke out in response to the backlash.
