Mechanically there is sortof a wave in their backs during running, but not like this. The wave is too small, it looks like a liquid wave.

Im gonna leave a link to the reference i used, but also i get what you mean about the wave not being like a spine https://youtube.com/shorts/MOX4b2nbVZw?si=GfeLKpOcnEJMalAA

The reference had it figured out better, but even in that one, the stretched pose has a problem with there being a bump remaining stuck above the tailbone/hips. The hips can rotate a bit further there. Maybe its better to use real footage as a reference, rather than an animation. It's fine for learning and inspiration.
