a) Firstly, check if you have any joint pains in your legs or for that matter any other pain related to your bones. If you do have, then you must consult a doctor before jogging. This is because, most probably, you will be jogging on hard surfaces and this can be harmful. This brings us to the next point.
b) Surface: The second most important thing that you need to see is the surface that you jog on. Concrete is a big no. It can do a lot of damage to your joints and can wear the cartilage that prevents the joints from rubbing against each other. Tar is slightly better. The best surface to jog on would be a dust road or loose sand of the beach.
c) Unfortunately, loose sand is available only near the coast. The next best thing that you can do is to make sure that you have the best pair of shoes available. Good jogging shoes ensure that they absorb most of the impact that is produced due to the pounding of your legs on concrete. It causes lesser strain on your muscles and helps you jog for longer distances
