Great phone app for Running! Zombie Apocalypse Training!!!!!!

[bookwormly]

Actually ran across this app in Cosmopolitan, of all places (was super embarrassed to admit that...).

Anyway, I will try it out this week and let ya'll know how well it works! Anyone else used it?

I use it for walking, it's awesome.

Have fun!

I got this last week for my iPhone.....keeps crashing halfway through the workout!! Grrrrr

Does look like a good way to add some fun into the workout!

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.

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!

Thanks for the heads-up haha, I have completed till 8...

Though I do it walking

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.

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.

I love this app! However I'm bummed that the C25k version is out on Android yet

[Loren Wade]

Believe it or not, that app is pretty popular around here. I did a whole challenge around it a while back.

[Kavismaximus]

I now have a reason to upgrade from my 5 year old nokia.............

[Hammlin]

I love this app as well

[Gobnait]

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.

Thank you for sharing this! Sounds like a fun way to keep motivated.

[chriskra]

incompatible with my phone... yet another reason to upgrade to galaxy s3

[RealMenRealDads]

Cool stuff! Anything nerdy that makes me exercise is a-okay in my book. LOL

[Faust]

This is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this. I half wonder if there aren't any other game apps out there like this.
