no anon, the one you were asking about...
you cannot run if you have more than a couple of volts potential across you, it has the effect of seizing up your muscles and not allowing them to relax, hence you are immobilised.

On a side note if it is a DC current which flows through you then it is possible for your blood to electrolise and Hydrogen and Oxygen bubbles to form in your blood - this is particularly nasty as it will probably only kill you days after the actual shock.
If the current is AC (and high enough) then your heart will try to pump at the same frequency (50 times a second in the UK) with the result that your blood will soon have the consistency of jelly and you will die in a matter of milliseconds.
