Loads have done that. It's how commandos and the like get fit.

that is fine but i would recommend running on SOFT surfaces. don't you dare do that on the road or sidewalk. find a grass field

and if you start noticing pain in your legs stop. this is a great way to overuse

Many people do that. Crossfit incorporates cardio with resistance training as well. Nothing new

It's a super common thing to do.

putting weights in a back pack, may or may not be the right thing to do on unlevel ground, if you have a pre-existing issue?

I mean, isn't that a recipe for more chiropractic visits than we bodybuilders care to have even More than the ones we use for preventitve care... ?
