    It was 90 at my place when I got home last night. Luckily the humidity is zero so it cools off a lot at night.

    I love Zombies, Run. Been using it off and on since Season One. I especially love it for running around a cemetery and wooded trails.

    Looks like I have it easy here in Oxfordshire, UK. Just mud and rain and sometimes it freezes at the moment, which makes things easier! It's very dark though, I run XC so I can't go after work as it is pitch black outside.

    I have been looking into it but it looks like an outside Gps guided app. Can I do it on a treadmill? I have 3 kids and a foot of snow on the ground at the moment. I really want to get it though!!

    You can certainly use it on a treadmill! It will use GPS on your phone if you want it to but it's not required for the app to run because you can also set it to no tracking at all, accelerometer or constant speed.

    I love this app, I've been using it for a while, I find it fun, I don't really like running on my own, but this keeps me entertained.

    P.S I have a Runner 5 T-Shirt too.

    Hi guys/galls

    i was just about to start a new thread asking about this app but then i noticed this one so thought i'd just put my question here

    I've been considering getting this app but i just wondering if someone could clarify how it works for me

    is there a set distance for each mission or is it just a continues thing of it keeps going for however long you run for

    so for example if i started tonight on mission 1, how long would that last? i'm going to be running 6k tonight would i just do the first mission or would it lead into the 2nd as i carried on running? if not what happens when you finish?

    hopefully that will make sense to someone, i feel I've rambled a bit

    cheers

    Depending on how fast you run, you can set it to go for 30 or 60 minutes which are the two time targets for the missions. It's approximate based on the songs it randomly chooses from your playlist. Once the mission is done, it'll go to "Radio Mode" and continue to play your music with cut-ins from the base DJs and it'll go as long as you want it to.

    On really long runs I've often played two missions but you need to actually end the first mission and then start the next. It won't do it automatically.

    ah right that sounds good, i'll probably be running for about 40 minutes so am i right in thinking i'd just say i want to do a 30 minute mission and then once that's finished it'll just go into radio mode until i tell it to stop?

    That'll definitely work. Have fun and enjoy!

    I'm so glad to find other fans on here! My best friend and boyfriend both are fans of the Zombies Run, and after all their enthusiasm, i bought the 5K trainer for myself. I am not a fan of running, and generally have had a very poor time learning to pace and train myself, but this has been fantastic fun so far. The 5K trainer is a perfect start for a non-runner like myself.

    For the first time, i'm actually looking forward to my runs! I can't wait to graduate through the 5K trainer and move onto the regular missions.
