Spencer, who last year completed 30 marathons in 30 days across the Jordanian desert, uploaded a photo dump of him at the event to Instagram.
He captioned the post: 'This London Marathon was the best executed run of my life so far, setting a PB in the marathon but also in everything over 16km, averaging 4:14 per km for the first three quarters of the race in unusually hot and tricky conditions.
He continued: 'A couple of weeks ago I wasn't even going to run this race as I was hobbling around on holiday but deep down I knew I'd regret not rolling the dice…
'There was always a chance that I'd have to pull out in the first few km but I was keen to take the risk and on the day everything held up!! The body is an incredible thing!
'Not in my wildest dreams would I even have been thinking about chasing a sub 3 hour marathon in gorgeous sunny London a few years ago.
'Honestly I couldn't be happier to have taken part and would like to thank you all for the tremendous support,' he added.
Many former co-stars and friends shared messages of support on the post, including wife, Vogue Williams and fellow participant, former Union J star Josh Cuthbert, who commented, 'Incredible effort, mate.'
Notably absent from the show of support was best friend Jamie Laing, 36, who despite following Spencer on social media, neither liked nor commented on the post.
Last month, Jamie completed his own gruelling marathon challenge which saw him run 150 miles over five days to raise more than £2million for Comic Relief.
However, many fans noticed that his reality show co-star and self-confessed 'best friend' was absent at the finish line.
Jamie Laing and Sophie Habbo targeted by terrifying burglary in the middle of the night
Spencer has failed to congratulate him publicly since with Jamie returning the favour this time around.
The former reality TV stars have been best pals since joining E4's hit Made in Chelsea show in the second series in 2011.
However, a fall-out over Jamie's wedding to Sophie Habboo was publicly aired in 2023, with many left wondering if the row is now flaring once again.
While Spencer had attended the pair's June wedding in Spain, he wasn't present at the legal ceremony in London two months prior and was seen on holiday in Portugal with his family instead.
When fans expressed their shock that he had chosen to go overseas instead, he used his podcast with wife Vogue to set the record straight, admitting he was "p***ed off".
He said: "I'm being hammered for 'snubbing' my best friend's wedding to go on holiday, and then posting about my holiday.
"I'm not here to b***h about my best friends but there's been some serious miscommunication from him.
He continued: "I just want to set the record straight, more than anything. I'm not here to whinge.
"I was not invited to this part of Jamie's wedding, and neither was Vogue."

OnlyFans tennis star claps back at haters with another raunchy post after US Open match got cancelled
American tennis player and OnlyFans star Sachia Vickery has clapped back at haters with a raunchy post on her Instagram. The 30-year-old, currently ranked No. 559 in the world, has faced backlash from fans after revealing she had joined adult content site OnlyFans earlier this year. For $12.99 a month, subscribers have access to 'the content too spicy for Instagram,' according to Vickery's OnlyFans bio. She also charges men $1,000 to date her. Vickery has since faced harsh criticism from traditional tennis fans, who have brutally torn into her over the decision, but now the American has hit back. Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Vickery shared a video of herself in a bikini with the caption: 'Imagine hating me and I'm in my room like this everyday'. The following post on her Instagram story appeared to promote her OnlyFans page. The American, ranked No. 559, played her first match since February on Tuesday when she beat Anastasiya Soboleva in the first round of US Open qualifying. However, Vickery has discovered more lucrative means of keeping herself busy over the past few months - and they don't require her to swing a racket. Her OnlyFans platform teases her 'longest shower vid yet,' strip teases and 'spicier' pictures, while also asking her fans to rate her 'riding skills' as she shares risque videos and saucy snaps. Vickery has banked just over $2million throughout her 14-year career on the court. Outside of the sport, she demands a $1,000 deposit fee just to date her. 'I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick,' she told her 39,4000 followers during an Instagram Q&A session earlier this week. While Vickery's move may have sent ripples through the tennis world, she has no regrets. She previously revealed that she's always seen herself as something of a revolutionary. 'I've always pushed boundaries,' she said on the Black Spin Global podcast earlier this year. 'I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. 'I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media.' 'Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap,' she added. 'I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. 'Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it.' Yet as she stepped onto the Grand Slam stage in Flushing Meadows again this week, Vickery once again hit back at her critics. 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it,' said Vickery when asked about balancing the two entirely different worlds together in an Instagram Q&A session. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.' Vickery, whose father Rawle is a former soccer player and brother Dominque Mitchell played football at South Carolina State, turned professional in 2011 after training with USTA and Mouratoglou Academy in France. But her career peaked back in 2018, when she managed a career-high ranking of World No 73. Now, the Florida native has slumped to No 559, without a single victory to her name. She failed to qualify for the Australian Open in January, stumbling in the third round of qualifying, and skipped Roland Garros and Wimbledon all together. However, she appears to save her best performances for the US Open with her best Grand Slam record coming in New York. She's made the second round of the tournament four times. Vickery is far from the first tennis player to have flirted with an alternate career on the x-rated website to fund their tennis ambitions. The sport's renowned babd boy, Nick Kyrgios, raised eyebrows earlier this year when he signed onto a saucy OnlyFans collaboration after his breakup from longtime girlfriend Costeen Hatzi. Kyrgios, who publicly split from his girlfriend of four years in March, hosted a new reality series for OnlyFans TV alongside adult entertainers Sophie Stonehouse and Rachel Starr in June. Titled Smash City, the series saw OnlyFans creators, including Vickery, battle it out on the pickle ball court to win $20,000. Kyrgios first joined OnlyFans in 2023, revealing in a statement that he wanted fans to see 'all different sides' of him after an injury saw him sidelined from his sport.

Canada's first cat museum coming to Montreal: pop-up exhibit launches next month
Cat lovers, unite! On the heels of the city's neighbourhood cat tours, Montreal will officially be home to Canada's first cat museum: Le Miaousée. Le Miaousée celebrates the role of cats in society while promoting compassion, education, and community action to improve feline welfare. Through pop-up events across Montreal, the organization aims to bring together cat lovers, artists, historians, and rescue organizations to share stories, art, and experiences that strengthen the human-cat connection. A permanent space is planned for 2026, featuring educational and engaging exhibits on feline history, and culture. Le Miaousée was founded by friends Aqeela Nahani and Lynn van der Valk, who met at work five years ago and quickly bonded over a shared love of cats—and a good internet meme. That mutual passion sparked the idea for a space celebrating feline culture and community. Expect a cozy lounge with five (or more!) adoptable rescue cats and a flexible event space for workshops, talks, and community gatherings. A curated cat-themed boutique showcasing locally made art, gifts, and products that support the mission. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Le Miaousée - Montréal Cat Museum (@mtlcatmuseum) When does Le Miaousée open? From September 12 to 28, Le Miaousée will host Miaoutréal: The History of Montreal's Cats at 215 Rue de Castelnau Est—a pop-up exhibit a few blocks from Jarry Park and Jean Talon Market that brings its vision to life. Visitors can explore two immersive rooms of history, art, and rescue stories, designed to evoke the charm of Montreal's iconic back alleys. Highlights include family-friendly activities, a weekend market by Réseau Secours Animal, and a boutique featuring locally made treasures—a purr-fect preview of what's to come when the permanent museum opens in 2026. Where is the Le Miaousée pop-up? The exhibition runs September 12–28 at 215 Rue de Castelnau East, and the venue for the permanent museum (opening in 2026) is yet to be revealed.
