Spencer Matthews has recorded a new marathon PB of 2:49, with Runner's World reporting his training was grounded in data, science, and steady work. The result marks a solid result for the British television personality now competing as an 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 raw effort alone, Matthews leaned heavily on structured planning.

Matthews is married to Vogue Williams, who has drawn coverage of her own this week after hitting back at online criticism. Those critics accused her of breaking maternity norms by going out with her one-month-old baby. Williams responded publicly to the comments.
