So I cannot recommend any in Jing'an or the Zhongshan Park area. The only gyms I have used so far are on Huaihai Lu and in Xujiahui. So I cannot recommend any in Jing’an or the Zhongshan Park area.

If you have a car you can go a bit further in Pudong, there are some nice places to run close to the sea. And Sheshan is also a great place, I might write something about that later this week. Hi Nico,
I don’t run in the open air for several reasons:
- the smog: you normally don’t notice it while walking outside, but once you start doing sports it becomes an issue
- the fact that traffic is too dangerous, and there is no big park around my house
- it’s 37 degrees in Shanghai in summer, and that’s too hot to run
I miss running outside, but that’s the downside of living here.

In the gym they normally play house music, pretty upbeat stuff. But I normally bring my iPod, I prefer to listen to podcasts while running, or to 150-160 bpm music (that fits my running speed)

If you want to run in Shanghai go to Century Park in Pudong. If you have a car you can go a bit further in Pudong, there are some nice places to run close to the sea. And Sheshan is also a great place, I might write something about that later this week.

funny story; I wonder why you don’t run outside in the open air.( wheather?)
Or do they play “house” mucic in the gym?

Maybe you can write something about the (best) “running” courses or areas in Shanghaj, I’m planning to stay for a certain period, starting the end of this year; I would like to keep on running , anyway.
Nico
