My thinking is... get them away from you as quickly as possible, so you can get away.

My daughter at 11 could choke me out. I've had 130lbs training partners that I couldn't get out of their armbar. Sounds more like she's doing it wrong, imho. Once a sub is fully locked in, it's extremely hard to get out of, if at all. Next time we're all together at a show, I'd be more than happy to show her proper technique.
I 100% agree with you about running being the best defense. I strongly believe that if you are going to spend the time to train, train in the best possible manner with a fully rersisting opponent.
