Its pretty easy once you see how it works and not really sure why it took people so long to figure this out, but what I personally do is as soon as I pop second wind I start to run, and if I determine that they are chasing me, I make the decision to implement my strat and honestly its saved me soooo much frustration.
It goes like this. As soon as I determine that they are chasing me with knives out because they know I have no chance at all to safely get away, I immediately run behind a tree, hit escape, and push that sweet sweet leave game button.
