Spencer has just completed an incredible feat: 30 marathons in 30 days in the desert, setting a brand-new world record. It's an extraordinary achievement, but what really struck me when we spoke was his attitude towards exercise.I was curious to know if his intense focus on fitness was something he used to replace drinking, or if it had become an addiction in itself. What I discovered was a man deeply passionate about setting challenges for himself and pushing his own limits. As we’re in between seasons, I wanted to start resharing a few clips from some of your favourite episodes as a reminder of the brilliant guests and fascinating conversations we’ve had so far. So, here’s a snippet from my chat with Spencer Matthews—enjoy!Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram: @hurttohealingpodHurt to Healing Website: hurttohealing.co.uk
