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 notable achievement 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 drawn attention for its methodical nature. Rather than relying on raw effort alone, Matthews followed a disciplined, numbers-based program.

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 spoke out in response to the backlash.
