Many people heading on a relaxing city break to London might consider their gym clothes to be the last thing they would want to pack.

However, short break operator Superbreak is looking to change this, making gym clothes essential for anyone heading to the nation's capital.

Based in York, Superbreak offers trips to Manchester, Edinburgh and York itself, along with London.

The company has devised London Sightseeing Runs, an active way to take in the sights of the city - and potentially to fit more into a day.

Routes starting from major London hotels have been planned to cover between five and eight kilometres, making them not too taxing for experienced middle-distance runners.

Guides are provided, who are also experienced personal trainers capable of adjusting the route and the pace of the run if their group requires it.

Director of marketing Will Dunnett says: "Over the past 12 months we have seen an increase in customers tailor-making their own breaks, adding tours and tickets to their hotel booking."
