Ep45: Spencer Matthews - World Record Debrief


Listen Later

Fresh off breaking the world record for the most marathons run on sand, Spencer Matthews is back in the studio to debrief on his incredible 30 in 30 challenge. On 29th July, Spencer set off at 4am to run across the Jordanian desert in pursuit of the world record and raising money for the incredible charity, Make Some Noise. Despite scorching temperatures, sleeping on the desert floor and some scary encounters with snakes, Spencer crossed the finish line 30 days later - an incredible achievement. We hear all the details of how Spencer tackled the challenges of the heat and the sand, what the camp set up looked like and how it feels now that the journey is complete.


Make Some Noise

Global’s Make Some Noise provides much needed funding to many charities who are facing growing waiting lists and unprecedented demand for their services, whilst facing increased costs and a downturn in donations.

Donating £30 – £1 for every marathon – could mean a vital support session for a pre-school child with a physical disability from a dedicated specialist worker.
