Jeremy Corbyn goes running several times a week as he prepares to be Prime Minister, Labour have confirmed.

Mr Corbyn's spokesman confirmed the Labour leader is "very active, both on behalf of the party and in his own personal life."

The spokesman confirmed Mr Corbyn is a "very keen cyclist and a very keen runner".

It's understood Mr Corbyn runs between 5 and 7km several times a week, as well as cycling and frequently working out at an outdoor gym.

Asked if Mr Corbyn had stepped up his training regime as part of his preparations for Government, the spokesman said: "Preparations for Government are extensive and comprehensive."

Labour sources wouldn't be drawn on his personal best over 5k, nor on how much the Labour leader can bench.
