“1 out of 13 workers in England are out running on their lunch break”
That’s almost 10% of the populace! You can read more here

I have seen several runners on the road at noontime here in Manila. Probably, it’s their heat training for BDM 102 this March 🙂
With the climate here in the Philippines, I don’t think we’d reach that number of people running outside at lunchtime like England. It will be extremely HOT and it might be unhealthy for the skin.
Noon is a good time to squeeze in a short workout though. You can schedule your own cross training, a treadmill run, spinning or indoor swim.
I’ve been doing noontime workouts at Crossfit recently and it’s been working well for me. The break is just enough for a 15-30 minute WOD (that feels like 2-hours).
You just need to pack your apparels before leaving the house. If you need running apparels, you can check this site.
Pros:
You’re not too tired, nor sleepy.
You have a complete 8 hours of sleep.
You can still squeeze the run workout in the afternoon after work (if you have a training program specific for running like me).
You feel re-energize again to face work in the afternoon-saves you a penny from your usual Starbucks fix.
When something comes up at work in the afternoon, there’s no workout to miss.
Cons:
You got to pack so many clothes.
You will miss on the usual office chats over lunch.
You have to eat lunch quickly/better pack your lunch.

There’s really no excuse not to give your body the workout it deserves.
