Plus, you can easily move from one side to the other by moving on rooftops. So if a guard in front of a building would see you, you can quickly and easily avoid detection by moving behind the building.

And even if they do find you, running across rooftops makes escaping much easier than running on the ground.

That said, this all does require parkour skills. But we all know Blake has more than enough. And of course, she just needs to avoid her friends, WF members and possibly the teachers, not the public in general. That's all nice, but we're not talking about playing parkour with your friends and fancying yourself a super-spy because of it. Were she trying to run from people who are actively looking for her, then running around publicly in broad daylight in a situation where she would be easily spotted is dumb. I don't think running is even remotely her intention and there is no basis for claiming she is trying to flee. Her whole spiel about being ashamed of always running away was an obvious set-up for her confronting the White Fang and Adam saying he would go after everyone she loves was also a set-up for her going rogue to deal with it herself.
