Spencer Matthews reveals he has an lost 10 kilos since embarking on his epic desert marathon challenge

As a follower who has embarked on numerous challenges myself, I find Spencer Matthews‘ 30 desert marathons in 30 days feat nothing short of extraordinary. Having lost over 10 kilos and still pushing through, he embodies the spirit of perseverance. His words about his body adapting to his circumstances resonate deeply with me, as I too have learned that our bodies are remarkably resilient when we push them to their limits.

On Wednesday, Spencer Matthews shared with Heart FM that he’s shed approximately 22 pounds since beginning his desert marathon endeavor.

running 30 marathons across the desert within 30 consecutive days.

Spencer shared with Heart that he’s shed approximately 14 pounds (which equals about one-and-a-half stones). However, he emphasized, “This isn’t the recommended way for people to attempt losing weight!”

As someone who has spent years pushing my body to its limits through intense physical activities, I can confidently say that what we’re doing here is no walk in the park. While weight loss isn’t the primary goal of this endeavor, the fact remains that I’m burning a staggering 7,000 calories a day. Replacing those calories is no easy feat. It requires an enormous amount of planning, dedication, and discipline to ensure my body is properly fueled and not left depleted. My life experience has taught me that maintaining energy levels and overall well-being in the face of such extreme calorie expenditure is a challenge that demands respect.

It’s clear that we’re extremely fatigued during the day due to the scorching heat, which makes us constantly use energy. Moreover, I must confess I have a strong appetite and enjoy my meals, but consuming 7,000 calories is quite a challenge for my replacement system, so I’m gradually losing weight.

Spencer went on to say, “Indeed, the human body is incredibly adaptable. It adjusts according to where you are, your activities, and your specific circumstances.”

At this point, after completing 24 straight marathons, it feels like my body is saying, “Whoa, you could keep going like this!” Indeed, it seems to be shedding muscles. I started out heavier on top, and most of that muscle mass has diminished now.

Speaking from personal experience, let me share a heart-stopping moment: Almost stepped on an unseen horned viper during my desert run. To clarify, I didn’t meet its fangs or suffer any harm, but the close call served as a stark reminder of the hidden dangers lurking in the sandy expanse.

I was driving a car on a sandy trail across the desert, and I didn’t notice it because it was so skillfully hidden, but I unintentionally hit it with my vehicle.

As an overly enthusiastic admirer, I was taken aback when Johnny, the fellow standing behind me, pointed out a serpent. Upon turning around, my eyes locked with the slithering creature.

It’s important to note that this substance can cause the death of a camel within five minutes, and it’s capable of killing a human much more rapidly. I simply wish to emphasize again that it didn’t pose any threat or attack us in any way. I’m not implying otherwise.

However, though we were very close to it, I managed to avoid stepping directly upon it by mere fortune. I unintentionally ran over it, to put it metaphorically, but I did not actually step or press down on it.

‘There’s no anti-venom for horned vipers – and this is all cleated by our doctor – and the local Bedouins love to emphasise a bit of a story from time to time, so they were like: “If this thing bites you, you’re dead.”

‘That’s not quite true, there are a few things you can do.’

On Wednesday as well, Spencer reached the achievement of running 100 kilometers thus far, expressing his gratitude with the following words: ‘I’m grateful for the incredible support you all provide me every day.’

On Tuesday, Spencer, who’s now competing in Jordan, is set to complete his endeavor. His loved ones are eagerly waiting to greet him at the end of his run.

He as been supported along the way by his family, his friends, and, most recently, Russ Cook, better known as The Hardest Geezer.

If there’s anyone who might understand Spencer’s situation apart from his associates, it could be Russ, given that he was the first one to accomplish a feat similar to Spencer – running the entire span of Africa – back in April.

Running, the ex-Made In Chelsea cast member is additionally fundraising for charity Global’s Make Some Noise.

Global’s ‘Make Some Noise’ campaign seeks to transform lives throughout the United Kingdom by providing support during difficult times such as grief, mental health issues, illness, and other hardships.
