The complete phrase "running for one's life" is an idiom that refers to running as fast as you can, as though you are running away from something dangerous, or because you are running away from something dangerous. "Running for one's life" can be said as a command by saying "run for your life". Ex: I saw a man running for his life because a dog was chasing him. Ex: The last bus is about to leave, and you need to be on it. Run for your life!
