From my perspective, there is a lot that doesn’t make sense (Destiny)

It's the only heroic mission I've played and I'm yet to understand any type of modifier. That mission is so annoying.

Have you tried hitting your Ghost button while in the mission? The modifiers are named and described in the same area where you'd see patrol or strike challenges. It's the same way you'd check for skull modifiers in a D1 nightfall. And they're not always the same per mission - they rotate periodically. So if you've done The Runner multiple times, there's a solid chance that you've actually done more than one combination of modifiers.

It can be really helpful to know what they are. There's one modifier that slows down health/shield regen to an extreme degree, and the only way to get normal regen is to pick up pools of light left by dead enemies. However, a Path of Hunger Voidwalker stomps all over that idea as long as you can keep getting kills.
