  1. ..from a distance.

  2. Only if you win the race. Otherwise you're just turning your back to the threat. If it is a social domination scenario, and he just wants to prove he can dominate you, he may not chase you. If he is there to hurt you, how fast are you/is he must factor into your tactical decision tree. I am large and have good upper body strength. Almost certainly, anybody who looks at me and thinks he can take me can outrun me. I might win a fight. I WILL LOSE a race. If I think he will chase me and I don't have sanctuary nearby, running is suicide.

  3. That might well be an embarrassing name, but I don't see what that has to do with avoiding fights.

  4. Unless you are incapable of running fast enough, then running is completely useless, and turns your back toward your attacker. Leaving, if the mope permits it, fine. If have good upper body strength and worse than average legs, running from a determined attacker is suicide.

  5. In order for running to work ONE of two things must be true: 1. You are faster than the fastest of your opponents 2. They just want to socially dominate and will, in effect, accept your surrender. This is not the case if they wish to mug you or punish you. Sure, disengage if you can. Running does not automatically accomplish this.
