You're so exposed. You couldn't out run something like a GSD let alone cope with shotgun shot whistling in your direction.
Because for some people it is the only option and for others it is their prefered option, alomst totally silent, you can do over 50 miles a day easily just about anywhere you can walk, you can also carrry far more kit with you or the same anount of kit but more comfortably.
Many inner city folks only viable bug out route options are along footpaths, bridle ways and canal tow paths.
Even a porsche carrera cannot outrun a bullet its all down to planning, tactics and luck.
