Does anyone have any experience of running in Beijing? I'll be going there on a one year assignment later in the year, and could base my decision on where to live on where the best running is! Unfortunately what I've read so far suggests the best running could be in the gym

I would not dare try road/street running in Beijing though - pedestrian traffic is too dense and crossing road traffic felt risky enough even at a green light with the full awareness of walking pace.
As for the weather, the year I went it was hot and humid in September/October, and freezing cold and snowing in December.
Agree with Joolska that you might be ok further outside of the city - but you'd need some good local knowledge...
Sounds like I might have to take up badminton or ping pong, and forget any good running for a year
