The fitness fanatic wore black shorts with aquamarine detailing, white sport socks and trendy lime green trainers for his jog.
He peeled off his t-shirt in the blistering heat and tucked it into the waistband of his shorts, revealing his firm and well-defined tanned chest.

But he hasn't given up on his Hollywood dream as he headed out to Los Angeles on Tuesday reportedly to take another stab at US super stardom.
He was spotted meeting with top Hollywood executive Rick Royce while persisting in his prolonged attempt to establish himself stateside.
Mark and his wife, actress Michelle Keegan, 29, have made no secret of their desperation to crack America as they previously revealed they had attended meetings with producers.
In 2015, Mark said: 'I’ve loved being in LA, it’s amazing and it’s been exciting having meetings about working here. I’ve met with top networks like E, CBS and NBC.

'I have a manager over here too, John Ferriter. He has represented stars like Ryan Seacrest and Jimmy Kimmel, who have had amazing careers, so I know I’m in good hands.
'Michelle has also been meeting with top acting agents while here as well. It has been a brilliant trip.'
In 2012, as rating plummeted on Mark Wright's Holiday Nights, it was claimed that ITV would be looking for a new format after it was panned by critics - although the plans never came off.
ITV2 boss Angela Jain told The Sun at the time: 'The first couple of episodes, I didn't know what I was watching.
'We love Mark Wright and will carry on working with him but there was never going to be another series of Hollywood Nights.'
