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 strong performance for the British television personality turned endurance athlete.

The time is a credible result at any level, 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 hitting back at online criticism. Those critics questioned her decisions in the early weeks of motherhood by going out with her one-month-old baby. Williams responded publicly to the comments.
