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 solid result for the British television personality turned 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 guesswork or intuition, Matthews used a calculated and consistent training method.

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.
