I came across the phrase 転がるように in part of a sentence 間合いから転がるように脱出する.

[Here](https://thesaurus.weblio.jp/content/%E8%BB%A2%E3%81%8C%E3%82%8B%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E3%81%AB)
I came across a definition saying すごいスピードで前に進むさま and was wondering whether
this was correct, and if it is, how does it mean that?

answer
転がるように can be used figuratively. For example, 転がるように as in 彼は坂を転がるように駆け下りた or
建物から転がるように逃げ出した usually describes how desperate this person was. He may have
stumbled a few times, but it does not necessarily mean he has actually rolled
physically. Your link is based on this figurative usage (although I think
転がるように usually implies "desperately" or something similarly negative.
転がるように成長する makes little sense.)

However, your sentence says 間合い — is this a kind of a battle scene? Then
dodging by rolling in a battle is not strange, so 転がるように probably just means
what it literally means, "as if one was rolling", "(dodge) like rolling".
