‘I daydream all the time, particularly out here, sometimes I’ll fall into a two hour daydream when I’m running,’ he said.
‘It’s premature to talk about it but I would love running to be accessible to all children in the UK.
‘Whatever, that means I haven’t sat down and tried to figure that out yet, but it’s probably something that I will look into when I get back, how to make running more accessible for young people.’
Spencer said he has thought about his wife Vogue whilst running ‘all the time’ and that Taylor Swift has also helped him through.
He said: ‘I think about Vogue all the time when I run but I think about her when I run. We listen to great music too. We’re Swifties too, by the way. I think Taylor Swift is probably our favourite.
‘I can’t wait to see my family – Vogue and the kids get here tomorrow – I can’t wait for that – I am in withdrawal I think from seeing them. I’m really looking forward to that.’
