My husband Spencer has just completed 30 marathons in 30 days in the Jordanian desert, so I’m now convinced he’s not fully human – along with Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. Total alien vibes there.

He raised a huge amount of money for charity – but mostly I’m in awe of the fact he is now a Guinness World Record Holder and gets to be in one of my favourite-ever childhood books alongside those people with the crazy long hair and nails.

When Spencer decided to do his marathons, I said I would join in by doing 5k a day for 30 days along with him. I wanted to do this because I really admired him for what he was doing, and this was my ultimate show of support for him and for the charity he was running for. I also wanted to challenge myself a bit to be honest. I know 5k doesn’t sound like a lot in comparison, but it was for me.

When I first started running I found it difficult – but I’ve continued on. While I haven’t picked up any more speed along the way, I definitely feel more fit.........
