Starstuff Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Zombies, Run! got this card-carrying non-runner out there pounding the pavement and looking forward to it. I'm up to 2.75 miles a run (from never having run even a full mile before in my life) and on my second play through the story. (Fair warning for anyone playing, though: episode 11 is a serious tearjerker. I think I freaked out a couple other runners by getting all red-nosed and blotchy-faced trying not to cry the first time I ran it.)Alan, have you contacted their tech support? I had a couple issues with my app early on and was really impressed with how responsive they were to my queries. only what you take with you Challenges: Starstuff Wars Episode I, II, III, IV, V, VI NF character ~ Fitbit ~ Strava ~ Smashrun ~ MyFitnessPal Food Log Link to comment
Alan Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Good idea Starstuff, I'll give it another go and see what happens. If it crashes again, I'll contact them.I saw they've now got a new app for getting to 5k, I want!

SpazzyMal Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I was playing this pretty regularly until I kinda fell off the running wagon lately. But I think I'll do a second play-through soon and get back in the game, because I really enjoy it and it keeps me plenty entertained and gives me a goal to have while I'm out there and trying to learn how to not suck at running.

Lyr Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Oh, I love this app. I use it pretty much every time I run, but I usually have it on radio mode, so between each song there are some DJs talking about life after the apocalypse. It's great, and usually pretty funny! Plus, if I run well during the actual songs, I let myself slow down during the radio bits. Like interval training, only less formal and with more zombies. I haven't completed the main story yet, though. I like it so much that I don't want it to be over, so when I'm spacing out the storyline runs.

Gobnait Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Even if they have ported it to Win7 by now, I'm not going to spend that much on an app until we can switch to Android. I have conditions that affect my social awareness.
