Anyone want to start this program with me?

Its on sale today for 99 cents.

I've been waiting for a droid-compatible couch to 5K for Zombies, Run... and I now have no more excuses.

Come run away from zombies with me?

    Zombies, Run! is sooo much fun. 99 cents is a great deal too, I think I paid $6 for it. Worth it though.

    Picked this up today, we'll give it ago. Could always use the fear of being eaten alive as a push in the wee hours of the morning. Its not like the cars in my area almost running me over was enough for adrenalin rushes with my morning runs! lol

    Just bought it for my iPhone $3.99 - I was doing the regular ol' C25k but was considering stopping because I could not get past week 4. I think this will make it a lot more fun to run :)

    Now if only they would combine it with Minecraft... I'd have SERIOUS motivation.

    Oh, hey... I didn't even notice the full version (not couch to 5K) is also half off this week.

    Is $4 for the full android version.

    I'm about to become Runner 5.

    I was runner 5 tonight and found the app super boring :( What were you feelings? I was looking forward to it but it didn't give any real direction or info as I was running. Am I missing the fun button on it?

    Did you synch and log in to the website?

    There's a game that goes along with it. You unlock resources as you complete your missions.

    I think I actually did miss the fun button! I downloaded Zombies, Run! (The regular version for $3.99 - not the C25k version which is $1.99 on iTunes).

    Completed the first mission of the C25k version of Zombies 5k training tonight! Had to run more than those 15 second dashes though because I'm already up to a week 4 level on another C25k program (but I'm having a really hard time with it). I need to bring myself back a bit and build more stamina so the 10 minute free form run on this training app was a great help with that.

    I got overwhelmed at work, so am going to put off starting for another couple of weeks.

    Glad you found the FUN button!

    Can't wait!

    Wait, where is the fun button?? I tried this today and only got audio and a black screen that you can't do anything. Afterwords I registerd and synced, is there anything else you have to do lol

    Ah, you probably did what I did the first time and downloaded the regular no fun "Zombies,Run!" App (cost me $3.99 on iTunes).
    Such a snooze fest! Unless I'm still missing something, which I probably am after reading some reviews on the app.

    Anyway, Look for the one that says "Zombies,Run! 5k Training" (cost me $1.99) on iTunes. That's where i found "the fun button" for my run.

    I have both, and they both seem similar to me. I do prefer the regular "Zombies, Run!" app, I wasn't getting supplies on the 5k version. I think the supplies are alot of the draw maybe, because you can build up your base with them?

    What is different with the 5k version? I only did the intro which is the same for both.
