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 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 used a calculated and consistent training method.

Matthews is married to Vogue Williams, who has also attracted media attention this week after responding to critics. Those critics accused her of breaking maternity norms by going out with her one-month-old baby. Williams spoke out in response to the backlash.
