Setting new fitness goals or challenges at the end of the year is a pretty common practice. But in December last year, Spencer Matthews came up with a pretty extreme one; he would run 30 marathons across the desert in 30 days. That’s the equivalent of running the entire length of the UK, on sand.
Spencer’s better known for his appearance on reality TV show, Made In Chelsea, rather than his fitness pursuits, but the 35-year-old is quite the athlete. He's completed three ultramarathon’s; the Marathon de Sables (claimed to be the toughest race on earth), the Jungle Ultra, and the Ice Ultra. So, what’s made him want to go the extra mile this time?
