It's also a lot easier on your joints and heart, and does great things in the cardiovascular department. I'd run with that if I were you (pun absolutely intended).

I'm not sure about that. I once read an article from a magazine that said that short distance runners get less heart attacks than long distance runners. It said that running short distances quickly is good for the heart.
It was a long time ago and the article was very short, so I don't really know whether it was true or not.
