Anyone else a Runner 5?
I use this to get me out and about... it's an app where you follow a story whereby you are in a zombie apocalypse and are running missions. It's great! Who else uses this or anything like it?

I love it! I'm at the point where I need to shell out more money for the rest of Season Two and on and I'm more than happy to do it. It's something interesting to while away the time of a long run while training.0
-
It's kind of fun, but mine gets glitchy when I try to use music along with it...the music gets quiet at random times and then fails to get quiet when the characters speak. It's a really fun idea, though, kind of like no-pressure LARPing while you work out!0

I love that app! I really like "gathering" things on my missions and building my base. It gives running a fun, new purpose. I have all of season two but haven't played through them yet. I keep going back to my NikePlus app because sometimes, I just dont feel like being chased by zombies lol0
-
what is the app actually called i would be interested in looking it up to try0
-
It's "Zombies, Run" as per the thread title.
Can you use it if you're more of a walk/run type?0 -

I am a walk/run type, so yes.
I have the zombie chases turned off because they seemed to always happen just as I was finishing a run interval. Now that I'm out of race season I may turn them on again for giggles. 0 -
I think there is a zombies couch to 5 k type program too.0

There is. It's called Zombies 5K. I actually used it last year to get back into running after taking 3 months off due to a foot injury. Just as much fun as the regular app with the same cast of characters.DianaLovesCoffee wrote: »I think there is a zombies couch to 5 k type program too.

I have a Runner 5 tshirt. It's a nice, lightweight material, but quality. Candylover3394 - the app is "Zombies, run!"0

I use Winamp for my playlist and haven't had any problems.0 -
App is called "Zombies, RUN!" and there are several versions. I have "Zombies 5K," which is a couch to 5K thing. I'm definitely a run-walk sort, which is why I like the aps, their whole method is to help build your "run" segments from a run/walk split. As you go, you run more and for longer stretches. Your pace is up to you and how you are feeling, so even slowpokes like me can feel successful . (SPOILER ALERT: the ap can't see you, so you won't REALLY get your brains eaten if you don't run fast)0

Oh! Just thought - the company that does Zombies, run! also has a new app called The Walk, that's an adventure/spy quest thing, for walking and uses your GPS to know how far you've gone and plots your adventure accordingly, somehow or other. I haven't gotten it yet, but it sounds interesting.0

Oh, that does sound cool. I may have to try it once the ELEVENTY BILLION FEET OF SNOW MELTS.0 -
LOVE Zombies Run! It's how I got back into running. Tried the regular C25K app, and just couldn't hack someone telling me what to do... LOL! I used Zombies Run right up until I started training for a half marathon a few months ago.
Will probably go back to it once my half is over. 0 -

I used it while training for my half, I just turned off the chases so it didn't ruin my pacing. I find the story helps kill the time when I'm running for 90-120 minutes. I often did more than one episode on the longer runs.
I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but the Radio mode after an episode ends is a lot of fun, too. The "DJs" are hysterical. I've come to love that part of it at least as much as the main story.
As far as the playlist goes, I used Winamp on my previous phone to make it work but on my Galaxy S5 it is using the playlist on my "Music" app and it works just fine.0 -
I came to this forum to ask advice for help running that wasn't just "C25K" which Ive dont but I still have trouble running- so going to try this... thank you!

I LOVE this app! During the spring, summer and fall we walk as much as I physically can and use this app. During the winter, when we've got 3ft of snow like now on the ground, we're talking about how we cant wait till spring to go again.
Love all 3 seasons. Enough story to be good, enough cliff hangers and tidbits to keep you interested and enough filler to make it seem like the story isnt going by too fast.
Love the radio mode, especially the original DJs, Jack and Eugene. Also love the missions they have and they have a walking app called 'The Walk' that has a good storyline.0 -
There are several walk/run apps (for iOS, at least) by the same group:
The Walk is a fun way of tracking daily steps and can be motivating on a day when I haven't had much reason to move around.
Zombies 5K is another C25K app. I'm liking it so far as I try to get back into running after many years away.
Zombies, Run! is more focused on established runners, I think.
They also have at least one other semi-game/workout app called Superhero. I haven't really gotten into that one, yet.0 -

Heh. Highs in the 60s and 70s here all week. I had to wear my Buffs as sweatband instead of headwarmers on my runs.
(I promise, you can laugh at me when I'm running at 6AM or 9PM this summer and it's still above 90 degrees!)0 -

Oh, I definitely will, lol. I went out this morning to -9 with a -27 windchill. And thats in the continental US. I may run outside sometime in June....0 -
77° here today. 80ish tomorrow. December and January are the time of year to run here. You can also laugh at me come May when we're in triple digits and I have to do all of my running in the morning before the sun gets too high. At least it's a dry heat!0
-
I wish MFP weren't so puritanical about language, so I could tell you what I thought of your 70 degree days.
Although...80 tomorrow? Hellz naw. I don't work out in that kind of heat. I'm not a lizard, you know.
We were at exactly ZERO F here last I looked at the thermometer, no idea what the windchill is. I can handle the cold, though. It's the barely plowed streets and 7' high drifts alongside that would have me fearing for my life. I'll just hang out in here where nobody is going to run me over, thanks.0 -
If it's normally humid where you are 80 here is not like 80 there. I think 80° and 10% humidity is pretty close to the perfect weather. That said, running when it's 80 and sunny can be a bit rough, especially on asphalt. I've found wetting down my running shirts before I head out the door to be especially helpful. That wouldn't work in very humid areas but works well here.0

I run in 90% humidity at times. For me, the Columbia freezer shirts are best in high summer.
I will be in AZ next week and plan on getting in a run, though!0
