About Rick Karboviak, CSCS
Expertise
First things first: I WILL NOT ASK QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO AN INJURY OR SORE AREA ON YOUR BODY, please seek medical advice from a doctor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or chiropractor. I can answer questions specifically for mile to 5K distances, preferably in regards to HS and recreational runners, since I coach JH/HS age athletes, and train recreationally-based runners (those who simply run for the enjoyment of it, not super-competitive). I am also an expert in doing training with the assistance of a GPS speed & distance monitor, in tracking speeds, paces, and distances for measurements in intensity & volume of your workouts precisely. My main running site is http://endure.speeddialcoach.com

Running coach 2001-2002, 2005-Present. Sports performance trainer since 2000 (CSCS)

Answer
People have jogged on roads for years and with some caution, it can be alright for jogging on.  The major issues that arise come from running too long on that kind of road on the same side, which causes an uneven surface to continually run on (such as running on the right side of the road the entire time).  One way to avoid that is by running on one side, such as the right side going out, and the left side returning (basically turn around on that same side of the road).  The road itself isn't the main issue for danger, its the traffic you need to watch out for, as well as keeping your own body well-tuned for exercise (proper warm-up, recovery).
