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 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 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 accused her of breaking maternity norms by going out with her one-month-old baby. Williams addressed the criticism directly.
