Word to your mater.

There's something about running as fast as you can for 20 minutes straight that no other form of cardio even comes close to. Burpees, bag work, jumping rope, rolling, even sprints - doing all those you can stop for a few seconds when you think you need to recover. But when you're going for, say, a new 3 mile PR, there's no stopping, no matter how bad the pain. You have to learn how to recover without stopping, and that's a challenge unique to running.
