Runners 5 Mess Hall

[Traxex]

Greetings, Runner 5! Grab a seat, have a meal, take a load off! No zoms here!

 

 

Welcome to the support group for all Runners 5. There are a lot of us, and a lot of first time challengers doing Zombies 5k. 

 

So let's support each other. Ask each other questions -- Maybe about that W2D2 glitch? 

 

All runners welcome here!!

I'll kick off the discussion; for those of you who've gone through 5k training and played some of the main game, how much does the 5k training add to the plot? I was thinking of doing one 5k training run per week in order to listen to the story, and using it as interval training, since I can already run 5 k's. 

[BitterOyster]

Hi! I'm not currently running regularly and I haven't done the 5k training, but I love Zombies, Run! and I'd like to stick around and chat, and I'll spread the word if I see any other Runner Fives around.

The entire 5k training takes place between season 1 episode 1 and 2. In fact the first episode of 5k is identical to the first of regular zr. There isn't a ton of story but you do get some character exposition.

[RogueLibrarian]

Great idea! I'm running for the first time in my life, as of just a few months ago. That's largely kept going so far thanks to Zombies Run. My wife and I ran our first 5k together about a month ago.

[WorldSparrow]

Just started using it so don't know much yet. How much do you all mess with the base building aspect? Or do you just run the story?

That's awesome! I'm still not sure if I'm running just because or if I'm going to register in races

There is no base building in Zombies 5k, so I haven't messed with it at all yet. But when I progress to the Zombies, Run! app next week I'll definitely be messing around with it. I've heard good things and mediocre things. No bad things. 

[RogueLibrarian]

Every couple of weeks I'll remember "Oh yeah, I collected a bunch of sports bras and USB drives. I should build buildings out of them." And then I don't look at it again for another couple of weeks.

I'm half-hearted when it comes to the building aspect. When I first got the application in '14, I was actually playing on Kongregate a zombie game that you get resources and build up a base. I was flipping bases at the same time and then fell out of it. equally at the same time. Maybe when I fully pick up using the application, I will go back to building base but probably will just go forth and enjoy the story aspect.

Never will we see "sports bras" & "USB drives" be used in the same sentence.

I started using Z!R5K and Z!R3 when you had to purchase it. I had actually alternated between the two as my knee/ankle would give out and I was (like right now) back to walking/speed walking to best ability. Since it has been sometime since I touch either application and have legacy into the new 'free' app, I will see where it has gone since I have left the base and am going to return.

Hi... downloaded Zombies Run (free version, wasn't aware of how many versions there appears to be) only yesterday, but got to say I enjoyed it. I don't usually say that about running. Ever. Looks like this app is going to help me hit my goals. So, mind if I join the party late?

There's no specific date to be late to Glad you enjoyed it! That first mission is really fantastic.

There are two versions; the full app, which you have, and a 5k training app you can pay for that starts with run-walk intervals. If you can already run for a few km without stopping, you'll want the free version, which is also the main app.

[Rhovaniel]

Thanks! Yeah, the mission was pretty cool, I found myself totally sucked in. Plus, I ran, according to the GPS thing, 3.85 k. Not bad for me, since I'm usually pretty wary of running, and don't do it often. It's nice to think I can push myself beyond what I think I can do. Working it up to 5k shouldn't be too much of an issue in the coming month or so.

Ah, so this 5k training is separate from the virtual race.  Is anyone planning on running the virtual race?

 

Speaking of which, I hit 5k yesterday and am pretty pleased.

I am seriously considering. It's kinda spendy. Maybe loot for the next challenge

I was interested in the race until I saw the price tag. As it is, I won't be running it.

Yep, I'm doing it.

[Jessebel]

Thanks for the tag! I am currently doing the 5k training and have signed up for the virtual race!

 

Great group! Is anyone on the runner5 team on Charity Miles?

 

 

[Severine]

Hello! Yes, I am doing this. It's part of my current challenge actually.

 

I've never run a 5K before and don't really have much experience running at all. In fact, starting to think of myself as someone who could possibly be a runner is a pretty big deal for me.

 

I started the 5K training program a couple years ago, got about 3 weeks in and then got sidetracked and never finished. So now I've restarted and want to actually stick it out and finish it. I think I'm physically capable, as long as I follow the training program, but the mental aspect is hard. As in the idea of actually running a 5K without stopping is a little terrifying. But in that good way - three cheers for doing stuff that scares us, right?

 

 

[RavenclawMystic]

Runner 5, reporting in! I'm doing the fall virtual 5k. Training up for it with the Zombies 5K app - just finished week 3 tonight. Nice to meet y'all!
