S11 Ep8: SPENCER MATTHEWS ON HIS INCREDIBLE ULTRAMARATHON CHALLENGE, FAMILY AND FINDING BALANCE

Monday Mile with Aimee Fuller

We’re finishing Season 11 of #MondayMile with a big one, as this week, entrepreneur, TV star and podcast host @spencermatthews joins me for a stroll.

It’s 3 miles around Battersea Park, which is light work for the man who’s currently prepping for a frankly SUPERHUMAN challenge – 30 marathons in 30 days across the Sahara Desert It’s never been done, and if you’re not convinced that it’s possible, you will be by the time you’ve heard our chat.

Spencer talks me through his motivations for this world-record attempt. He’s got ambitious fundraising goals for a noble charitable cause, which he speaks passionately about, but there’s something personal in there too. Spencer is driven, and it’s illuminating to hear how he’s managed to take a complete U-turn from his self-destructive, boozy lifestyle to one of routine and discipline. From his fears, his family and finding balance, we cover it all, and I’m left feeling really inspired.

Thank you Spencer, and best of luck!
