Zombies, Run! for fitness

I've found that Zombies, Run! has helped me keep exercising more than literally anything else.
So I thought I'd see if there were any other Runner 5's around, and maybe might be interested in starting a group to chat about Abel, New Canton, and getting fit that way.
For anyone who doesn't know, but might be interested. Zombies, Run! is an app which is designed to help with fitness through a story. It's primarily designed for running, but I use it for other exercising as well. There's also a couch to 5k mode, which is also very engaging.

there's a few running groups on here:

I saw those, but I didn't see one specifically for Zombies, Run, so I thought I'd see if anyone else used it and was interested.0

I used to use it and love it and I would really like to start using the app again! I'm starting a C25K program as soon as I can buy new running shoes. I'd be interested in a group!0

Awesome! If we get a couple more people then I’ll definitely set one up. If not, and it’s just us, is it okay if I friend you and then we can chat in statuses0

I saw this a few years ago. I was interested at the time, but it was a paid app and I didn't feel like spending money on it. I may check it out again since I want to start walking/jogging again.0

Made it halfway thru season 1 but then upgraded my phone and now it doesn't support the app anymore. I'm now unlocking episodes on my tablet every week and waiting patiently for an update

Pretty sure there is a ZR group here but it's not active at all.
ZR is great. You can use it for free but I hate waiting for missions as free only allows so many a week so I pay a monthly subscription which is well worth it.
There are training modes and interval missions as well in the paid version. Currently I am almost finished Season 5 (they just finished Season 7) and it's my favorite thing to run with.
There is also a companion app, Zombies, Run 5k. Basically a couch to 5k trainer. That one is a one time fee to unlock the whole 8 weeks, first 4 are free. It's the only 5k trainer I've been able to complete and I run through it at least once a year.0 -

I bought the yearly membership, but have been so bad about not actually doing it. Love the story though. I listened to it throughout my trip to Europe two summers ago.1 -

It has 666 members right now! I don't want to ruin that by joining.3

Oh! I didn't know there was a group already. I certainly won't step on their toes by making a new one.0 -

I love my Zombies Run apps. When my feet aren't acting up I will do the C25K or just listen to the story line if I am walking.1
