Spencer Matthews has set a marathon personal best 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 now competing as an 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 guesswork or intuition, Matthews leaned heavily on structured planning.

Matthews is married to Vogue Williams, who has also attracted media attention this week after responding to critics. 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.
