Guest Gemeaux Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I am a lazy bitch and need excitement when I work out . So I thought it would be awesome if someone developed an app for running , but the motivation are zombies ! It would be like the couch to 5 k app but with zombies . Imagine you're running listening to some bad ass music and every 40 secs or so a voice tells you how close the zombies are , all set to dramatic music and zombie noises ! It would be like a game and the goal is to be not eaten . Weird ? Yes , but I think that would make me run everyday . Quote Link to comment

Morrigainz Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I don't think it's out yet. I saw something about it being available for Android May 2012, "3 months after the iphone release." But that was just upon a cursory look-around. Maybe it's been delayed or some other whatnot. Quote Level ?

Loren Wade Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yep. This guy's got it. Run for your Lives. Also, the zombie app was a kickstarter campaign that was fully funded last year. I donated to it too. If its not released yet, it will be very soon. https://www.zombiesrungame.com/ Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
Relosa Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm totally going to get this app when it comes out for the Droid.I've also wanted to do the Run for your Lives, but I think I'd have too hard of a time laughing at the zombies to not get caught... Quote Link to comment

adampm Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 That would be even cooler if they had a way to add in some zombie shooting. You don't really appreciate the weight of firearms and ammo until you lug them 25 miles or so. Quote Link to comment

Maybe I'm just cheap, but they got funded by Kickstarter for thousands more than they were aiming for (if I remember correctly, and I may be mistaken), so it seems a little high.Any reviews of it yet? Can you set the length of your run?As for the Run For Your Lives races, I signed up to be a zombie in the Pittsburgh race this September. That evening I have a wedding. Should be interesting.
