Zombie Run App

I am using the 5K. As I was a sedentary, some people recommended me to start with the 5k. By what those people told me, the regular app has no much of coaching as the 5k, it is more about getting supplies and completing mission. The 5k however gives more orientation. The story is about you being prepared to become a runner. You will not have to get supplies (sometimes you do, but they won't even show when you access the website).

The first week is lighter and you have Sam to orient you. From the 2nd on you'll have the doctor to tell you how and when to run. You won't be running for more than 3 minutes without hearing someone from the base. Usually the doctor saying things like: "you are doing great, 2 more minutes"

The 2nd week starts with 10min walk, 10 min walking and running (15s of run) and the 10 last minutes for free-form run.
On the 3rd week you will start with 5min walk, 5min run, 10min walk and run, 2 min stretching and 8 min free-form run.
And I'll stop by here, because I'm still at week 3.

It's a great app. I found the easiest way to deal with it was to put my iphone on airplane mode - I don't like getting messages when I'm at the gym, so it's the quickest fix for me.

I've started on the treadmill with the 5K and then I'll move outside later in the year when I can jog for more than 15 seconds at a time


And the second season is out very soon.



Actually, I'm just off to go and do a training mission now.

I've been using the app for my walks and it is a lot of fun. I like the stories/missions and gathering things along the way to help build the town.

Even though it is premised around running, it does not really seem to matter if you are doing something other than running. I use it for walking, but I bet you could also use it for biking or hiking. I don't turn on zombie chases though as a walker. Maybe when I have gotten a little fitter, I can start using it for a run :-) In the meantime, it makes walks more interesting.

I love it because its funny and easy:)

Love Zombies Run however, it does not integrate with MyFitnessPal like Endomondo does. I am using the 5K training run and am on week 2 Workout 3. Have been repeating it several times since I feel I am not ready to move on to Week 3..

For past couple jogs have been using Endomondo. Hope they integrate Zombies Run to MyFitnessPal.

You should be able to just use Zombies, Run! and Endomondo at the same time. I've done that with Digifit and RunMeter.

Can someone who has done/is doing the Zombies, Run! 5K training program post the workouts by week?
I don't want the mission spoilers but it would be really nice to know what the upcoming exercises are going to be.

I've done Couch to 5k in the past and see that this training program is different so trying to figure that out.

The company that designed the 5k program that the app training is based on, Up and Running, has e-course that cost 49 pounds. Jeesh.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I just completed week one. Super excited to start week two on Sunday.
