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 solid result for the British television personality who has become a serious endurance runner.

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 leaned heavily on structured planning.

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.
