Fields are a bit of a no no if you're just starting out. As people have said you want to cushion the impact on as even a surface as possible, tracks and/or paths are normally quite good at absorbing some of the shock.
Pavements are not (IMO), quick way to shin splints / bad knees if you're just starting out.
Low impact sports like swimming or the cross trainer may be better for you, you're not going to cause much damage to the joints then."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith

In addition to the questions & suggestions above, if you haven't already, buy new running shoes. Don't use a pair of old trainers as they'll offer no support. A decent pair should be good for 350 to 500 miles.
And take it easy for the first few weeks. Give your body time to adjust to its new regime.Comment

And most athletics clubs have groups for beginning runners and are delighted to get new members.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Either that or wander down to "The Trafalgar" in 'shot, open the door and shout "All Para's are pussies!", you'll soon learn to run.Last edited by Churchill; 19 October 2011, 11:06.Comment

Think I might go with the athletics club idea.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

I hate running on pavements, but an uneven surface sounds worse... apart from risk of falling over yor legs will be getting unexpected stresses from all kinds of angles.
I wonder if running on a beach is considered good for the joints - it's certainly bloody hard work if the sand is soft! Wonder if hard sand or soft sand is better.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
