“I DID IT!!! I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT!! 30 DESERT MARATHONS IN 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS… ALL ON SAND.” he wrote on social media.
“I am now a Guinness World Records holding endurance athlete - the first and only person to successfully run this many back-to-back marathons in these extreme conditions. Just over 42.2km or 26.2 miles, every single day.”
“That’s 1,274.02km of some of the world’s toughest terrain with no comfort in which to recover.”
Absolutely super human stuff!
His wife Vogue Williams ran part of his final marathon alongside him and their two oldest children were there to meet him at the finish line in the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan on Tuesday.
The reality TV star turned entrepreneur completed the challenge on behalf of Global's Make Some Noise campaign, which raises money for charities all across the UK.
Spencer raised a staggering £342,508 for the charity but noted that he was “just getting started” in regards to donations.
We imagine he’d sleep forever after that!
