"He's running scared"

"He's running scared"

Hi, it doesn't look like the word, "scared" exists as an adverb, but do native speakers still go ahead and treat some adjectives as adverbs like in the sentence above?

Thank you

Guyper do native speakers still go ahead and treat some adjectives as adverbs like in the sentence above? I don't even want to comment on the word class of 'scared' there, but yes, it is common, I think.
