He was dropped off in an official government car, before hitting the turf and getting the miles in.

A source at No10 said: “He has been exercising in the grounds of Buckingham Palace.

“It is important for him, like everyone else, to take regular exercise.”

It is understood security concerns have ruled out the PM working out in St James’s Park, where he often takes a morning jog or stroll.

He has also been seen recently running with his dog Dilyn in the grounds of Lambeth Palace, south of the Thames from Westminster.

Mr Johnson has always been an enthusiastic runner and cyclist.

And he has ramped his exercising up to shed the pounds — after it emerged his overweight frame may have led to him ending up in intensive care while battling Covid-19.
