Thoughts on running in a soccer field?

Training Help

I have access to a large soccer field with artificial grass and did a jogging lap with max cushion shoes out of curiosity.

Felt less impact force for sure and I didn’t get the bounce effect compared to pavement as expected. I don’t see myself doing any moderate to long mileage whatsoever.

But it made me think would it be a good area for fast runs aka interval training with low/lower stack shoes? I kind of like this idea with the reduced ground impact but maybe it is not optimal.

To give some context I am half marathon training and a heavier runner.
