Over years of running it does yes. If you have bad joints or want something low impact try swimming

If you're running properly on good flat ground then you have nothing to worry about.

Only if you are running improperly, a common thing with shoes.

concrete is worse for you than tarmac. stick the the tarmac, proper shoes, and you should be ok. if you can get to a trail in the woods, try that everyonce in a while for a break. that will strengthen your stabilizers as well. swimming or bicycling are great for breaks on your body as well.

Yeh got a woods trail near me!Ok thanks for that,yeh will get some decent running shoes as well!

Yeah just try to get good flat running shoes.

You should be fine its more the wrong running technique rather than the surface.

You don't want flat shoes at all. You want shoes shaped to the arch of your foot.
