It's the windshield effect. The standing man exposes only head and shoulders (and, if he loves pork products as much as I, a proud gut). The runner, in a speed-dependent manner, opens his front to the rain. A man in repose exposes MUCH more area to the above than a standing man.
In a car in drizzly weather (especially one with a largely vertical windshield), have you noticed how the rain seems to increase as you accelerate, then slow back down at the lights? The windshield moves through air, thus harvesting rain from a longer column of same.
