I am not sure if this was asked before. But as the title can you choose not to run after you roll the dice based on the result? Accord to the rule book on the difficult terrain test you aren't but I am not sure if this also applies for running as well.

Once you have rolled, you are stuck with running. So, you can't go back and choose to shoot.

But, the rolled distance is a maximum movement. If you prefer, you can choose to stay stationary.

All movement, unless specified otherwise, is implicitly "up to" - so the dice just states your maximum possible move, you can always choose to stick where you are.

You would still count as having run, so no more shooting.

From the latest main rule FAQ:

Q: Do units that choose to Run! in the Shooting phase
have to move the full distance rolled? (p16)
A: No they can move up to the distance rolled. Note
that once the dice have been rolled, they cannot shoot
even if they then elect not to use their movement.
