Always do whole body stretches before and after running.
Use knee caps and ankle support during running to support these two major joints which are prone to damage during running specially of you are overweight.
And go gradual.... Be patient to loose weight. Alongwith running, healthy diet ( cutting of maids, junk food and fried food), can accelerate the process of loosing weight.
All the best
