Spencer Matthews has recorded a new marathon PB of 2:49, with Runner's World reporting his training was centred on science, numbers, and consistency. The result marks a solid result for the British television personality who has become a serious endurance runner.

The time stands as a genuine benchmark in amateur marathon running, and his approach to training has drawn attention for its methodical nature. Rather than relying on raw effort alone, Matthews used a calculated and consistent training method.

Matthews is married to Vogue Williams, who has separately been in the news this week after hitting back at online criticism. Those critics questioned her decisions in the early weeks of motherhood by going out with her one-month-old baby. Williams spoke out in response to the backlash.
