Love it. If you're new to running though, you might want to consider getting the ZR 5k training app. Though you can get the regular ZR app and do your own run/walk intervals...just don't turn on the zombie chase option.0

I have never heard of this before! Not a big runner (since ever), but I'm definitely intrigued. *rushes to google*0

Yes! Do it! It is so worth the money, I love it. I use it regularly and listening to the story motivates me. Some days I won't feel like getting off my couch but I want to know what happens next do I turn on zombies run and go!0

Well worth it! I'm almost done with season 1.0

I should definitely try this once I reach the running period of my journey,0

Thanks for the feed back everyone I'll definitely be purchasing it later0

I'm on Season 1, I just got back in from Mission 15, and I bought it when it first came out, paid ten dollars for it and used it twice.
But then I picked it back up about a month ago, and I am so happy with it. The story keeps me engaged, I have had so many feelings over this game.
You don't even need to run, if you can't yet. You can go any speed you want, and when the zombie chases come up, you just need to increase your pace by 20% for 60 seconds. Set it up with your music, sync it to your computer, you can see exactly where you ran if you used your GPS, and it gives you all the data about how far you ran, how fast, how long, etc. It's really awesome to do with friends too.
In the story, you are "Runner 5", and you just (pretty much literally) fell in with a group of people surviving the Zombie hordes. You are quickly recruited as a runner for Abel Township by Sam, who runs the coms and guides you through you missions, and you meet all kinds of different people that are living in this landscape. It's really cool and a lot of fun.
My name is Tasare on there if you want to add a buddy, once you get your zombie link account set up.0 -
I have to check this out, sounds like fun. How long is the story, I walk about 1 1/2 hours every morning and want to start intervals to build up to jogging.0

I am usuing the couch to 5k. Can the Zombie run be used like that? I also use my ipod do I need wireless for the whole run for it to work?0

You don't need WiFi with either Zombies, run! or Zombies 5K. The only thing you'll miss out on is the GPS tracking; it helps to track your distance and speed. To compensate, both apps will measure your footsteps...but note that that can be inaccurate sometimes.
The best thing about these apps though is how engaging they are. I just finished the 5k training and couldn't believe how well I was able to increase my distance and time. Now I'm on to the Zombies, run! and I love the stories. I run along some unpaved nature trails early in the morning so I don't use music for safety reasons but I love the interjection of stories...it helps push me harder (though my three-year-old Old English Sheepdog sets a pretty damn good pace too).0 -
I have been using the Zombies, Run app for 2 years now. Love it! Totally worth the money (I paid more than that for it myself!).0

Love zombies run!0

Been meaning to try this for sometime now and the comments here really sealed it!0

If you buy the app does it automatically start on season 1?? When I looked it up in iTunes it mentioned something about season 3...do you have to buy each season separately??0
-
Love this app. I'm just getting into Season 2, and am loving getting out and running. I also have 5k, but I'm waiting for them to add the external music player to it...And I'm hoping for interval training to be added to the android version.
You get portions of each season free, but to get the entire series, you have to buy passes to the expanded seasons. I've gotten all three, since I've always been in love with the series since I started it.0
