I guess there are moments where Jack knows what it's like to be The Doctor. I'm sure there have been times where even The Doctor himself wanted to runaway out of shame for what happened to some of his past companions that died helping him save the world but in the end, he took that pain and moved forward making sure no one ever has to feel the pain he feels. It's understandable that Jack wanted to run away because of the guilt, the shame and the pain he felt at the end of this series but he knew deep down that he would have to come back to Earth because the world still needs protecting when The Doctor isn't around.
This aired for the first time on my 11th Birthday. Needless to say I was devastated by Jack's story, and by Ianto's death.

one of the doctor's favorite phrases 'run'
Torchwood will survive in some shape or form defending the earth when The Doctor isn't around
This is how it ended. Not miracle day
