A Comma Splice is two independent clauses being joined incorrectly by a comma. Example: I love vanilla ice cream, it is the best ice cream flavor.

A Run-on is two or more independent sentences joined together without any punctuation. Example: I always buy vanilla ice cream at the store it is my favorite.

In this case, this sentence is an example of comma splice.
