Beijing - routes for running
I'm aware that smog is bad for running but for those days with better air:
are there any routes for runnning (around 10-15km) in the centre of Beijing or in the areas around

My second pick would be the GW Sheraton because Chaoyang Park (BIG) is fairly close and the run to/from there is not heavily trafficked by Beijing standards.

Beijing - routes for running
Run from the W or St Regis along Chang'An Road to Tiananmen Square, run through/past the square and past zhongnanhai (the leadership compound) head north after zhongnanhai running next to the big red walls until they end then turn back east and run along the road behind the forbidden city until you're past the forbidden city, then turn south until you hit Chang'An Road again and follow it east back to the W or St R. The whole route will have wide sidewalks and lots of sightseeing. Should be between 12-15k.
