She says she plans to commute daily from her London home to Manchester when BBC Breakfast moves North.
And it seems Susanna Reid is keen to make sure she is in good shape to cope with the gruelling routine.
The TV presenter was spotted this weekend, sporting a red running vest and shorts, trainers and a baseball cap, going for a lengthy run in the capital’s Richmond Park.

She recently said of her travel plans: ‘I’ll go Sunday night, work on Monday, come back Monday morning, stay Monday afternoon, go back Monday night.
‘I’m not a very good planner but that means I’m not a big panicker because I don’t worry what’s going to happen, I just hope it works out.’
Presenter Sian Williams left the show because she did not want to move her family or travel between the two cities.
Miss Reid has been keeping her fans up to date with her London Marathon training on Twitter.
Earlier this week she wrote: ‘To everyone facing another weekend of London Marathon training - good luck, sometimes there are lows but it will all be worth it on the 22nd.’
On Wednesday she said: ‘Went out for a 3 hour run this morning. Stopped after 30 mins, exhausted, knee hurt. Walked for 40 mins + had an ice-cream in the sunshine.’
In an interview with Radio Times last month Miss Reid accused viewers of overreacting to the sight of her cleavage.
She had said: ‘People seem to be shocked that women have breasts. There’ll be complaints about the fact there is literally a shadow showing.’
