Spencer Matthews has recorded a new marathon PB of 2:49, with Runner's World reporting his training was built around maths, science, and consistency. The result marks a strong performance for the British television personality turned endurance athlete.

The time puts him among competitive amateur runners, and his approach to training has been noted for its structured, analytical style. Rather than relying on raw effort alone, Matthews used a calculated and consistent training method.

Matthews is married to Vogue Williams, who has also attracted media attention 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 responded publicly to the comments.
