Spencer Matthews Embraces Sobriety & Takes on Marathon Challenge

Spencer Matthews, the former ‘Made In Chelsea’ star known for his wild lifestyle, has undergone a significant transformation. The 35-year-old father of three, now happily married to Vogue Williams, has embraced sobriety and is pushing his physical and mental limits with a challenging marathon attempt.

Matthews candidly revealed his past struggles with alcohol, admitting to feeling "ashamed" of his behavior. He attributes his improved well-being to quitting drinking, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and good sleep, and even incorporating supplements.

"I have come from having a shocking relationship with alcohol and feeling quite ashamed of myself actually to now being in a position where I'm really happy and comfortable," he shared with MailOnline. "The things that have made a big difference to my overall health are hardly ever drinking, minimal amounts of alcohol, exercise, good sleep and proper supplements. I feel in the best shape of my life and I'm very happy."

Fueled by his newfound health and a desire for personal growth, Matthews has set his sights on a remarkable challenge – breaking a marathon world record. He plans to run 30 marathons across the Jordanian desert in 30 days, aiming to set a new Guinness World Record for the most consecutive marathons ever run on sand.

"I'm at that stage in my life where I really want to push the boundaries and explore what's physically and mentally possible," Matthews explained. "I have always been a big Bear Grylls fan and people that push themselves to their limits and now I want to do the same."

To prepare for this ambitious endeavor, Matthews is diligently training, running a marathon every couple of days. He recognizes the unique challenges of this particular feat, stating, "This is a World Record attempt, this would be a world first. Even Russ Cook, the Hardest Geezer, who ran the whole length of Africa… not taking away from it at all, it is an insane achievement but he ran most of it on road."

Matthews' commitment to pushing his limits and raising money for charity is a testament to his personal growth and his desire to make a positive impact on the world. His journey from a troubled past to a focused and driven individual is an inspiring example of self-improvement and the pursuit of extraordinary goals.
