Turning her body sideways while running that fast would make her topple to the ground and roll in an impromtu cartwheel.

Just remember that for all intents and purposes we should assume her running speed is as familiar to her as ours is to the best human acrobats and parkour practitioners, her reflexes would also be similarly formidable. I can think of many ways she could move out the way of that strike, especially with the aid of her shield, hell you could just parry with your sword if you really needed to, and then let your momentum carry you forward to strike anyway.
