Not really, although as usual, it depends. It doesn't seem to hurt bones: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6416492/ but it doesn't seem to help much either. There's evidence that running is actually good for your joints, as long as you don't keep running if you have an injury: https://www.nm.org/healthbeat/healthy-tips/fitness/is-runnin...

Running properly is part of the way to avoid injury.

I had 3 knee surgeries over the years and have arthritis in that knee and actually running with OA seems to be an ok thing to do, which seems to correlate with my experience that my knee pain is less when I run than when I don't.

As usual, there's lots of nuance and it depends on the person and the situation!

The poster I was answering to said that repeated stress makes joints stronger. That's false. You can totally run injury free if you use your legs as springs and a natural stride
