Dirt trails, grass, dirt/cinder tracks, or even gravel roads are best for the majority of training mileage.
Never on concrete, and limit asphalt when possible.

All-weather tracks are good for the occasional faster stuff, but slight surface irregularities are good for the lower leg when doing base work.
