Looking for a video...
You can try this old Dulfy video it’s over a year old but I think it’s still the same run animation from before the recent patch. Try it about 1:20 into the video.

I know you wanted human, but here’s a norn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAWU45TKMgI

Shoot, thank you, that’s great. I should have been more specific. 
I meant running with a ‘sheathed’ staff. My fault.
Thank you very much, though!

That first one shows my issue ‘exactly’, and I’ll assume it’s the same with a human. At 42 seconds in when she’s running. See how ‘still’ the staff is? Doesn’t move that much? Now, it moves like a windshield wiper all the way to the center of her body across her right leg and back again.
Thanks!
