    Other than the disability, privacy and disability concerns already raised- Running is SO boring. What if you prefer other cardio activity or a mix of strength training and cardio? Why does it have to be running?

      I also can’t see how this doesn’t open them up to lawsuits for any injuries incurred from a sprained ankle to a blown out knee or a heart attack. I’m a manager in a large company, and I got a bit nervous at some of the offsite activities, and those were mild things like dunk tanks. Plus I bet the entertainment company or venue carries that insurance. This is literally making the run part of the job, and it’s a relatively dangerous activity.

        It’s in China… You might end up in a work camp for getting injured and speaking up about it.

        You and most people in this thread are right but I’m sure that can’t be a concern in their legal framework, otherwise they wouldn’t have come up with the idea.

      The article says climbing and walking are both accepted.

      Running has always been where I was able to just let my mind wonder. It’s like meditating while exercising.
