Vogue Williams issues warning to Spencer Matthews before he attempted huge challenge

Former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews completed 30 marathons in 30 days last year, but his wife Vogue Williams was worried he wouldn't survive the challenge

Vogue Williams had a stark five-word warning for her husband Spencer Matthews when he announced his intention to run 30 marathons in 30 consecutive days on sand. The former Made in Chelsea star, 36, made it into the Guinness Book of Records after successfully completing the gruelling challenge last year.

However, he admits that those closest to him, including his wife Vogue, 39, were deeply worried about the endeavour. This was particularly due to the fact that Spencer didn't have an athletic background, but rather, had been battling alcohol addiction, confessing he was a "slave to the bottle".

Speaking to Mail Online, Spencer revealed: "Oh my wife was of the opinion, 'Well, that will kill you.' My mum wasn't very happy with me. Nobody was happy, really."

While Spencer was undertaking the 726-mile endurance challenge across West Africa, Vogue was "holding the fort" at home with their three children - Theodore, Gigi and Otto. Upon his return, Spencer says Vogue questioned if he was "ever going to do anything like this again? " He responded: "I said: 'Well, I'd love to do something like this every year for the next ten years.'"

Having completed one epic endurance feat, Spencer has already set his sights on his next challenge. He now wants to complete Ironman triathlons in each of the seven continents, ending the challenge in Antarctica.Each one will see Spencer complete a 2.4mile (3.8km) swim, 112mile (180km) bike and 26.2mile (42.2km) run. It is a feat that only person has completed so far, although that took four years, with Spencer planning to complete the challenge in weeks.Speaking to Deadline, Spencer added: " Not one to rest on his laurels, Spencer is already eyeing up his next feat. He's set his sights on completing Ironman triathlons on each of the seven continents, culminating the challenge in Antarctica, reports Dublin Live.

The challenge laid out for Spencer involves a daily triple-threat of a 2.4mile (3.8km) swim, an epic 112mile (180km) cycle, and a marathon distance 26.2mile (42.2km) run. This herculean endeavour has been conquered by only one individual before, and it spanned over four long years.

Spencer, however, aims to storm through these trials within just weeks.

In a discussion with Deadline, Spencer declared: "This is without doubt ambitious – but what I have discovered is a love of pushing myself, and of achieving what would have previously been unachievable to me. Running 30 consecutive marathons earlier this year opened my eyes to what the human mind and body is capable of.

"Despite the gruelling conditions, I fell even more in love with running. As soon as I crossed the finish line I was itching for the next challenge."
