"She" was running for half an hour.

It's important to take into acount this physical activity when defining the modal "come over" as you have asked about it here.

In your sentence, "come over" means that she was physically affected by running for 30 minutes. Dizziness came over her after running for half an hour.

NB: come over does not mean overcome.
