not so sure I've heard of 'runs in the glass' before  -  but just possibly these marks are caused by flaws in the mould, or maybe uneven cooling (annealing) in a mould.           
Believe they're referred to sometimes as 'straw marks'  -  which of course they aren't 

Must admit that pressed isn't my area these days  -  am sure someone here will know the real answer. :)
