It's not actually an unrealistic running animation. It's just a bit odd in that it's a little too loose to be prepared to safely deflect despite taking on more burden to be in an almost-ready position.

(The more common mid-blade grip hold to be just ready enough to at least block --not parry-- just does not work with a sword with circumference greater than that --effectively-- of one's gauntlet's grip, while a resting rook / shoulder rest would leave you painfully exposed when wielding a heavy weapon.)

Moreover, at that point (shoulder rest) DRK would just overlap with GNB's combat idle position.
