This is a great way to start a Happy New Year! Slow jogging, short sprints, deep bodyweight squats, light resistance, and isometrics. Couple hours a week and, results, highly fit at 75.
Don't worry too much, I land mid foot so I absorb the shock the way your body should do. There is grass here and there too, but the obstacles are more difficult to spot there. I best like hiking barefoot on a path that I know where I can see everything.
How do you progress to sprints with load? Did you start with just a few kgs first and progress to what you feel right for your body? And how does one know we are challenging the body just right ?
My personal progression was: sprints first, then I felt I started going too fast as I got stronger - like my legs would fall off from speed - so I started doing them up a slight inclines. Then I went up a steeper incline. Then I started adding weight. I built up to the current max of about 10 kg and I feel I may actually take it down a notch.

Excellent. Life's too good and there are too many interesting things to get into so it's only right to maintain this vessel so it's not achy :D

I do worry about your feet, Pawel. Running on hard pavement. Beautiful environment, but can you find a natural surface to run on?
