Who else uses Zombies, Run! I just started the 5k trainer with the intro workout tonight... I feel sorry for Sam, and the old Runner 5!

Please no spoilers!

    I do! It's great :-) Once you complete the 5k training and go onto zombies, run! You get to build a base and have to defend it and build a community. Really good fun. I like the zombie chase feature too. Once I hear them breathing down my neck it gets me sprinting like a loon, especially when I'm out on moonlit scampers. Enjoy x

    I'm rationing Season Two as the third won't be out until next year. I listen to it on long trail runs. You can adjust for a longer mission plus they now have the Air Drop feature. The 5K is good but the series will blow your mind.

    I've got one side mission left of season 2 then I'm out of missions until they come out with more next year. Really sad its coming to an end for now. Awesome app though.

    i just started, i'm a couple of episodes in... it's a fantastic app, so much better than just listening to music.

    Haven't downloaded the races as I originally thought they were just a c25k equivalent but now looking into them again I'm finding out they are not just that so I may be able to get a little mor eof my fix. Thanks

    I loved ZR. All up till it constantly would not work on my phone. It was a brilliant reason to run, I used to replay it while walking with my 20yo son. He loved some of the stories. But even though I sent details of the problem... nothing. SO I uninstalled.

    If you buy the season pass you get the races and side quests. Since you have most of it the races would be good and the side quests (if not already done) significantly pad the episodes. The air drop is where you design your own pick up point and they build a story for you, haven't tried that but it sounds interesting.

    The races fill in a lot of detail to the story and are best done in order, the side quests can be done any which way. I've looked at their new app The Walk but it needs some work. Great story but the episodes don't auto play which seems kind of stupid. Theoretically you could use that to run if you finagled it and if they fixed the lack of auto play.

    Ditching the work phone and getting my own in a couple weeks and can't wait to download this app. I've heard a lot about it and I can't imagine anything more motivating than being chased by zombies!

    Does the 5K one come first?

    I'm gutted that I can't get this as I really want it but I only have an Android phone. Is there any other alternatives or other audio-type file that's like this that I can get instead?

    I think this would be a great idea!

    I have an Android and can get it! Have you checked again lately?

    I bought The Walk but it's so glitchy I gave up on it. Plus I had to walk like 20 minutes to 'earn' each 1-2 min. clip, which wasn't all that motivating or entertaining. I've heard you can use ZR with walking but I'm leery. Is it more content-heavy?

    No that is a separate app. What I recommend is buying the Season Pass. You can turn the zombie chases off it you are just starting. The SP has all seasons, plus the races and the side missions.

    For me the 5K wasn't where I was at fitness wise, but if I had it way back when, I would have loved it.

    You can walk with it, I see no reason why you couldn't, if you have the zombie chases on you need to run or walk three times faster for the duration of the chase. Or 30 percent faster, can't recall. It's all on the Six to Start blog.

    Yes, and you can choose the length, so if you are out for thirty minutes there is more content with your music. I do an hour so it's more spaced out.

    I love love love it. Keeps me entertained! Plus the radio is great for when youve finished the mission but want to keep going.

    Radio is great, I love the tips. I'm. This isn't a spoiler, if anyone has gotten to the episodes where Margaret Atwood and Keisha are featured (separate episodes) but they are done so well it's clever rather then Guest Star Apperance jarring. The production quality is outstanding.

    I have no idea if it's the singer but it really is Atwood. Which is way more impressive, lol.

    Love this app! It's the only reason I walk and run. I have about 15 missions left in Season 2, and haven't listened to radio mode that much, so I can make it last a while longer.

    I also post my mission complete messages here on MFP, and get a lot of funny questions from friends about what exercise I am doing.

    Would love to be friends with other ZR users.
