"The Zombies Caught You"

So I decided that I would enjoy the cool morning weather and do my run outside and then figured I had been doing well enough on the treadmill that I would finally try the Zombie Chases... and OMG, I did not evade a single one! I swear, it knew when I was going up a hill, and when I was starting to get tired.

My questions: How much faster and for how long do I have to run to evade the zombies, and how will I know if I do?

    I haven't tried the chases yes, but from what I read you need to go faster than your current pace by 10% & maintain it for 60 seconds. Anyone else please feel free to chime in & correct me if I'm wrong.

    The voice-over will tell you when you've successfully outrun the hordes of undead.

    Thank you! I've been wondering the same thing. Very helpful. I just got the app yesterday and managed to evade all the zombies on my first run but today I was caught. My dog, who I swear is in league with the zombies, took off in the opposite direction towards a zombie (my neighbor) right in the middle of a chase and dragged me to crawl! Lost a pair of underwear. :-( The town really could have used that!

    @ Ash112 lol... yes a pair of underwear would have come in handy back @ base. Thanks for the post it made me laugh in an otherwise dreary work day.
