Not the best place on Earth to run. Probably one of the most polluted areas on the planet. The hotel treadmill is probably the cleanest suggestion! But, if you're determined, and staying in one of the big hotels I suggest you walk down to one of the nearby "villages". Each has a loop of around a mile: Bel Air III, San Lorenzo, Urdaneta (sometimes difficult to get by the guards). The best treadmills are at the Shangri-La as the gym overlooks a busy junction, and it's good to do some exercise while watching the traffic below. If you are up very early, and want a longer, less monotonous run, head towards Forbes Park and follow McKinley Road until you get to the American Cemetery.
