Being large framed gives you some advantage over the smaller boned. With a small frame and just a little extra weight it is double the wear and tear. There are also runners who float off the balls of their feet, and those who just pound the crap out of their joints. And then there is just running, and running stupid distances. I don't think running by itself has anything to do with joint health.
