In the book and, I think, in the movie, Frodo is able to run away because he wants to keep his Precious. In a crude way it is like an adrenaline rush: Gollum trying to take HIS PRECIOUS. NO. IT MUST NOT BE. Thust, Frodo gathered strength he didn't know he had because he wanted to protect the Ring, his Precious.
