Exclusive: The broadcaster and entrepreneur is on the cusp of breaking a world record as he has only one marathon left to run on sand - and here, Spencer reflects on the journey so far
Spencer Matthews feels overjoyed after reuniting with wife Vogue Williams and their three children as he prepares to finish his world record attempt in Jordan.
“But camp is absolutely no place for them, so we found something that was a little bit more commercial. It means we have to drive about an hour to and from the starting points for the marathon, which was not what we were doing before, but it meant that I got to see them for an extra day.” He told us: “It’s a tough question because I haven’t really processed it at all. I came out here with a mission to run 30 marathons in 30 consecutive days in the desert and that is pretty much what we’ve been doing.
“I’m aware that the majority of the fundraise will come late in these final days and once the challenge is complete. So in the back of my mind I have felt a fair amount of pressure to get to that point. It’s quite highly publicised, we have a professional team of five people out here living with me at all times. We’ve got the backing of Global’s Make Some Noise, and a lot of brands came on board too. Heading into this felt very different to a normal challenge.
