'running chords'. havent heard that term.

are you saying ...playing notes while forming a barre chord?
if yes, that is quite a common technique.
jazz players come to mind.

an example would be to form a barre chord and then pick out the scale notes. you need to lift and move some of your fingers.
next, forming a chord, pick out a melody.

I guess this is my guess.
