Tuesday 27 September 2022 11:32 AM Liz Truss heads out for early morning work-out as Boris dons running shorts for ... trends now
Liz Truss headed out for an early work-out as Boris Johnson also donned his sports wear for a jog around the park today.
The new Prime Minister was seen leaving Downing Street in her exercise gear, ready to take to the streets of a chilly London morning, with temperatures dropping to about 12C.
Meanwhile the former PM donned his shorts, a casual jumper and trainers as he jogged through the capital, waving to the cameras as he went.
Mr Johnson is known to regularly enjoy a morning jog and is often seen taking his steps - and his dog Dilyn - through St James Park and central London.
The new PM also starts most days with early-morning runs and is known to go to the Archbishop of Canterbury's 12th Century Thameside garden at Lambeth Palace in the company of hand-picked advisers.
The aim is to help her to thrash out solutions to the intimidating set of issues filling up her in-tray. She then returns to No 10 to shower, ready to hold her first meeting at 8.30am at her desk in the Cabinet Office.

Ms Truss was first offered the use of Archbishop Justin Welby's London residence a few days before she was declared the winner of the Tory leadership contest on September 6.
Lambeth Palace has one of the largest private gardens in London – at ten acres – and is one of the oldest continuously cultivated gardens in the country, having been founded in 1197.
When Ms Truss moved into Downing Street with husband Hugh and their two daughters she told officials that she wanted 'regular exercise sessions' included in her diary – and, where possible, to combine them with meetings.
As she jogs around the grounds, she asks members of her inner circle for ideas to solve the cost-of-living crisis, high energy bills and the problem of low economic growth, as well as the NHS backlog and thorny issues such as the extent to which the Government should intervene in the 'culture wars' over woke issues.
Mr Johnson also used Lambeth Palace's garden for morning runs when he was Prime Minister, usually with Dilyn.
