isn't a drop of 10 euro cents in 2 weeks a 'run' or a 30% devaluation against the euro in a year a 'run'? What would a technical 'run' on the currency look like? I believe the ERM debacle caused a 15%ish devaluation of sterling and that was called a 'run' (Soros did rather well I believe) so would this technically be called a 'sprint'?
