Anyone else find themselves getting wrapped up in the story and staying out running longer than planned??

UGh i want to! Mine wont download, gets to like 98% and gets an error message....Ive been waiting for this for so long and UGH!
Glad to hear its worth the money tho!!0 -
Oh I want to get to this point SO BAD! But my fitness has just gone straight down the hill and I'm finding it hard to run for a long time (20mins+) esp without getting caught by the zombies! As I have been caugh 3 times in 2 runs >_<
But one day I will get away from them! I know it doesnt affect the story its a goal for me

What I do is walk until I get to a zombie chase, then I run as fast as possible. Keeps the story going and keeps me active. 0 -

Oh thats cool if you do lose supplies more motivation :-) thanks!0 -
Holy cow! Talk about motivation to sprint! I really got into it today when the zombies were coming after me
I'm loving this app 0 -
Used this for the first time this morning and found that my paced had picked up compared to Wednesday's morning jog. My cousin mentioned this app to me. I love it because i can use this and iSmoothRun at the same time. Since ZR doesn't have interval training yet, i'm able to use iSmoothRun for my interval training. I did turn the zombie chase feature off. I didn't want to be in the middle of a walk interval and have to sprint. One of these days, I'll add it. I just think this is such a cool concept and definitely makes running fun. Kind of like a choose your own adventure book!
LOL - they should have questions for us to answer after each run and then however we answer is what determines your next mission. HA! Definitely going to continue using it.0 -
Finally got it to DL and run. Daughter and i went out at 9pm for a walk/run tonight. Let me say, dark street, in the middle of forest and corn fields, in the dark, and zombies breathing down your neck...scary has HECK!
I cant get my online zombielink to sync to my phone unfortunately. IDK why, tried logging out and back in online and on the phone and it still isnt syncing up.
I also walked until the zombies chased me. They still caught me twice but i did get away once. Love this app!!0 -
Just did this with my kids for the first time...OMG it was awesome and we had so much fun0

Just did the first mission and had a good time. Took me over 3.7 miles. It seems maybe the longer the songs are on your playlist, the longer your run will be since the narrative happens between songs. I was chased 3 times and got caught the first two times. I wonder what others' experience is on getting caught. Do you think it's prearranged, or do you think you really do get away if you run faster? Because I was doing a pretty decent pace for the first two chases. On the third chase I started out at a very slow pace and then ran fast when they were at 100m and got away. Maybe it's based on your speed differential before and during the chase. So if you are maintaining a fast pace and increase to a slightly faster pace you get caught, but if you maintain a slow pace and increase to a fast pace you get away. Not sure. Anyone have a different experience on the first mission? Did anyone get away every time or get caught every time? I'm really curious!0

Even though when the zombies where catching uup to me I had barely any energy left I did pick up my speed abit but still got caught. So I think maybe you're right.
I'm gonna try walking and then running when they are catching up to me and see if that makes it change at all.
But makes sense!0 -
I got caught 3 times, didnt even realize it until we got home and logged online. I walked and then ran when zombies chased, I also had two little boys with me tho....So I wonder has anyone redone missions, I was thinking of redoing the mission and trying to improve speed distance not getting caught ect.0

I read somewhere that you have to improve your pace by 20% to be able to not be caught by zombies when they're chasing you. I totally love this app. It's gotten me off my couch and out walking more than I have in a very long time! Speaking of the zombies that chase you, so far I haven't really run into that - maybe because I'm walking? Not sure. Will still be a while before this former couch potato is able to run the whole mission. But I'll get there!0

There is a setting that you have to have on for the zombie chases.0 -
I already had it switched to "on" for zombie chases. I switched it off and then on again and will see what happens.0

I just got this last week. Tonight will be my 3rd time. I am actually looking forward to outrunning the zombies. I was caught 2 times before. I am hoping this will help me with my stamina so that I can run the whole thing. I am only doing 30 minutes for now....I cant wait to run tonight to see how the story unfolds..0

Has an awesome hubby!
He went out and bought me an iPod touch so I could get this App!
I've only done 30 minutes, but only because I had my 9 week old with me and it was too hot to even be out that long! (it's also the reason I had the zombies off)
Soon I'll get healthy enough to run, but right now walking fast is all I can accomplish...
Good luck & happy running to everyone!0
