Is it ok for cows to run a lot?

Not really. The main reason that cows would be running a lot is if something is chasing them, such as a dog. Running cows are stressed cows, and often stampeding cows can lead to disaster such as a fence coming down, injuries from a cow getting gored or trampled, and cows that are much harder to handle since the first reaction to them is to run like hell the other way. Stressed cows don't do very well: poor milk production, poor meat, increased susptibility to illnesses and diseases, abortions, not to mention potential injuries, and increased mistrust towards the handler.
