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 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 guesswork or intuition, Matthews followed a disciplined, numbers-based program.

Matthews is married to Vogue Williams, who has separately been in the news this week after responding to critics. Those critics questioned her decisions in the early weeks of motherhood by going out with her one-month-old baby. Williams addressed the criticism directly.
