I can't find the study. but years ago an orthopedics journal issued a report that showed microfractures of the articular surfaces in the knees of all runners over 70kG (about 155 pounds).
Low-impact is far superior for joint health. Like Rick said, "Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone."
Probably true, but on the other hand I'd rather be alive with bad knees, then not run and be dead from a heart attack due to being overweight and out of shape.
