Running on pavement

“Whether it’s concrete or paved asphalt, running on hard ground is incredibly hard on your joints and spine,” says Anand. “Many distance runners say they feel a difference between [the] impact of running on cement sidewalks versus running on concrete roads. But whichever you choose, you’re still running on a very hard surface.”

Anand recommends trying to find a dirt trail to run on, or stepping off the path at the park to run in the grass. He explains that running on softer surfaces won’t jar your spine as much as running strictly on pavement can. “You’ll also benefit from getting stronger legs, as the softer ground gives more and requires more energy, strength, and effort to push forward,” Anand adds.
