Why would you need to fight if you are good at running?
So what would you do if you were at the bar and somebody slapped your GF on the ass?
Well as a feminist, I definitely wouldn’t presume to speak for she/her. After all what if she likes it? I would never want to come between my partner and her pursuit of self actualization. Plus, men fighting over women is a construct of the 1950s patriarchy, and womyn can fight for themselves, thank you very much. I feel my job as a man is to sit down while my partner stands up, and maybe gets slapped on the a$$, if that is what she/her wants. But only if she gives complete and fulsome consent, preferably in writing.
The only fight I was ever in was on the baseball field and it was brief. Collision at the plate, things got a bit heated. How about not being a douche and not putting yourself in bad spots?

this is a scenario no letsrun male would ever find themselves in
What if Brad is feeling up and rubbing up on your wife at work, she comes home and complains. Do you confront Brad like a man? All women who look reasonably attractive are in the heads of hundreds of guys on a daily basis. Your girlfriend or wife goes to the store, chances are good that there is a guy checking her out, some bold enough to approach.
But the ultimate sign of disrespect is when a guy checks out your girlfriend or wife in front of you. The Man Code says keep your eyes off of someone's spouse/partner while in their presence. It's a direct challenge to your manhood if a guy checks out your girl while you are looking. And a test of your manhood if you give the guy a stern firm eye contact glance or cower with your eyes averted from their eyes.
Why would you need to fight if you are good at running?
Because you may be in a confined space where running away is not an option or in some other scenario where you can't just leave. Prime example: A workplace bully. Sure, you can raise a complaint to HR when Todd accosts you in the bathroom and pushes you up against the wall but it takes weeks to address HR complains. And if Todd is in a supervisory position over you it is even more difficult. Todd's opinion of you can influence whether or not you are retained or fired from the company. As an adult you really have to let your masculinity speak for itself.
However, if your demeanor is correct and you give even the hint that you won't back down, the bully will often leave you alone. Bullies prey on those who are submissive. Submission isn't only physical. It's mental as well. If you don't allow yourself to be submitted mentally/psychologically, human nature in most cases tells someone to back off of you.
We all see this played out in life at some point. A skinny little kid who is getting bullied then decides to get loud and act crazy to the point where the bullies think this kid truly is crazy and decide to back off. Or we've seen the small woman go into a ridiculous temper leaving people trembling. It's a case of Bark being Bigger than Bite but sometimes a big bark is all that's needed to keep people away.
Knowing how to fight is the core bedrock foundation of being a manly man. Even women need to try to learn to fight like a man. I teach all the women in my life how to fight, including my dog and my cats. The most important thing about fighting though is having situational awareness, and realizing that in 99% of situations your best bet is to run instead of fight, which is why you also need to be good at running. Another important aspect of fighting is knowing that you are never as good at fighting as you think you are, although I'm pretty confident I could beat up most posters here, namely the liberal ones.

Unfortunately a lot of young men raised today are not raised with the basic primal skills taught by an adult male in the family. I mean, being hard as a father these days would probably get you slapped with child abuse charges. Our parents grew up in an error where not only were their parents allowed to beat them if they got out of line, but so could the neighborhood. Discipline was enforced and it was harsh. Most men today are not used to getting their butt kicked which is what is a rite of passage in every man's journey. The butt kicking could come from your father, older brothers, or friends at school. But you're not going to learn how to fight until you've lost a fight.
The flip side is that if you are not just good, but an Alpha runner, you will get a lot of respect and admiration which would be enough to break the will of most men from trying to disrespect you. Why? Because having great power and influence is in itself an alpha male trait that other men tend to respect. You don't need to be a good fighter if you have great power and influence in general.
You almost never hear of ultra wealthy people or even medium wealthy government officials getting in bar fights. In the past, you needed to be a good physical fighter, warrior, to gain any kind of power. Not so in modern times.
If you're well known in your area as a fitness buff, a top runner, etc, chances are good that other guys would back off your wife/girlfriend because they know they cannot match up to you in what matters in life: power and influence.

This is why I'm so good at fighting...because I lose every fight I get in to.

Valid points. For self-defence, running and fighting are essential skills. There is no point in being able to fight if you can't run when three guys are coming at you with machetes. Similarly, for chasing down the mugger who just grabbed your phone.
I've always been puzzled at how you virtually never see a 'self-defence' guru ever talk about running (or more specifically, sprinting). Sometimes they will advise, perhaps only as a disclaimer, that you should 'walk away' from most violent situations, but for a basic survival skill, knowing how to or being able to sprint is as important as knowing how to throw a punch.
The only 'self-defence' type guru who I know who takes an interest in sprinting is George St Pierre, although I'm not sure he regards it as important for self-defence/survival or simply because he is into it as an all-round athlete.

Feel free to check my wife out, even if we're together. She's hot af and has amazing feet ;)

Really? For me, manhood is being confident in yourself and your partner and feel good about being with a woman other guys are checking out.
