Yes.  You should keep it in on while you exercise.  Make sure that the electrodes are well attached so that the signal quality is good, especially during exercise to decraese the amount of artifact.

Yes, you can go about your normal activities while wearing a holter monitor.  To assist with what's going on, it would be helpful for you to record the start/stop times for your runs.  Good luck!
