Does the pain start immediately or only after you run for a while? I'm no expert but I was slightly heavy and out of shape when I started running. The pain I had was in my inner and a bit outer lower leg, but I guess its common because another heavy kid had the same problem. I think its mostly because I had bad shoes. I got adidas trail/running shoes(not cross-training, that sounds stupid to me) and they worked great even when they are a little old now. I got a pair of nike running shoes and I've only tried running in them once and they gave me ankle pains for the first time. My older ones are better than my new nikes even though the adidas were less expensive or at least I think, I should try running in them again but I dont like how they feel. Anyways trying new shoes is a good thing to do.
I run on cement and grass, I dont run as much as I like, I was doing really good until school started and got in the way and I let myself get kinda fat again. So I'm still trying to shape up and be able to run long distances. I didnt consult any training advice except doing high school track whose advice I didnt pay attention to and I usually run non-stop slowing down at times, cuz I'm not good at controlling my energy points, then speeding up because I realize I still have a lot of energy. I havent tried running then walking, I thought it was bad to let yourself stop cuz it seems to really affect your sweating and fool your body.
