Surprise: The busiest people are also the longest runners.

At 6am at Sala Urban Area, between regular runs, it is not difficult to recognize familiar faces of the office team taking the time to practice before going to the company. It is paradoxical but true: these are the busiest people but the most diligent runners.

Jogging is no longer a hobby for people with spare time. For office workers, it is a rare “breather” between the pressure of emails, KPIs, and deadlines. Just 20-30 minutes a day, with steady steps, the mind is free from work, the body releases stress hormones, the spirit becomes clear and energy is restored. Many people joke: “Running is not something that only happens when you have free time. If you don’t run, you don’t have enough energy to be… busy!”.

Why the busier the better?

Psychological studies show that aerobic exercise helps the body reduce cortisol – the stress hormone – and increase dopamine – the chemical that brings feelings of excitement. Busy people are used to discipline, and when they run, it is an “appointment not to be missed”.

Technology also helps maintain habits: smartwatches, tracking apps, virtual challenges motivate each step. In addition, group running movements, company clubs, and 30-day running challenges turn running from individual to community. As a result, people maintain their endurance without reminders.

The healthy living movement is spreading

The movement is not limited to young people. The 35–45 age group—those most stressed—is maintaining a steady running habit. Local races, corporate races, and community events are growing rapidly, turning running into a culture where office workers find motivation and social connection.

Improved health, clear mind, increased productivity – these changes are easily noticeable and inspire the office community. Running is now not only a sport but also a part of Vietnamese pride.

Prestigious brands accompany the running movement

The strong expansion of the runner community has led to an increasingly professional demand for equipment, nutrition and running experiences. In that picture, Running World has become a familiar address, where runners — from rookies to seasoned runners — can find everything they need for their journey to conquer each distance.

The store offers a wide range of genuine running shoes from ADIDAS, HOKA, NIKE, ASICS,... along with many accessories and clothing designed to optimize movement. In terms of nutrition, Running World offers many options from popular brands such as AB Energy Gel, GU, Hammer..., meeting the need for energy supplementation in long runs, trail runs or competitions.

Looking at the running community today, it’s easy to see why busy people are the most consistent runners. They don’t run because they have time – they run to take control of their time and their health.
