  • Most of us have moved to a Facebook "Zombies, Run!" group to discuss stuff. Please feel free to join! We have an *amazing* group of people there. :D https://www.facebook.com/groups/205649742946802/
  • Am I the only one who thinks that The Governor might not be a totally bad guy when he comes back? I mean, they actually managed to redeem Merle to the point where I was kinda rooting for him, which I never thought in a million years I would do. But then, I'm a sucker for redemption stories, so maybe I just am hoping for…
  • I really, really wanted the pig to come back as a zombie pig!!! :)
  • I'm kind of in the same boat. I bought just regular running shoes, and now kind of wish I had bought trail running shoes. My biggest issue is that when the grass is dewy in the morning and I go for a run, my feet are soaked within minutes. I guess I need trail running shoes, too.

  • Here are a few of my power songs. :) "Lift Me Up" - Five Finger Death Punch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-2yuGgp_U8 "Heaven" - Angels and Airwaves - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzm_1Tuor1A "Burn It Down" - AWOLNATION - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN5AXq4WvZI "Galvanize" - Chemical Brothers -…
  • Welcome. Runner 5!!! :) I'm only halfway through the 5k app, but I've finished season one of the main app, and I really don't think you will miss anything by just jumping into the main app. Just my opinion, though. :)
  • Wasabi and Soy. I was afraid to try them for the longest time (hate spicy foods!), but I tried one when someone had them at work, and I fell in love with them. But like other people have said, I have to buy the little packets because I will gobble down the whole container if I don't. The blueberry one is also amazingly…
  • Great job, Deku!!! :D
  • This is where I usually do my running: http://www.woodlanddunes.org/hiking-nature-trails.php So nice, with a wide range of terrain to run through...fields, boardwalks, woods, etc. And I rarely run into anyone else there, which is always a plus.
  • Thank you for making this group!!! Glad to be here! :)
  • It's weird...I started getting into a running program just recently, and the ONLY places I've been running is on trails here at the local nature center or on a section of the Ice Age trail that weaves throughout the woods, sand dunes, and lakefront here in Wisconsin. I've actually never ran on pavement or even a gravel…
  • After *completely* messing up my left foot this spring when I attempted to start a running program while wearing cheap Walmart hiking boots, the doctor and physical therapists told me that I was a pretty major pronator. Once I was finally able to walk again (yeah, it was THAT bad), I went to a very good shoe store that…
  • You know, my item pick-up notifications have sounded weird lately, too! Very slurred, like the guy who announces what I pick up kept a few of the whiskey bottles for himself. It happened RIGHT after I ran one of the newly-added supply missions, so I assumed that something with that mission messed up my guy's voice. I miss…
  • I've used the app twice since I updated to iOS7 on my 4S, and haven't had any issues. I hope something isn't wrong with yours. :(
  • If you go into Settings in the app, there should be a "Mission Length" section. You can choose between 30 minute and 60 minute missions. If you choose 60, I think it plays 2 songs between the story clips rather than only 1 song. Hope this helps! :)
  • I walked season 1 (without the chases on), and I am on my 3rd week of the couch-to-5k app right now. Once I get better with the running, I plan on finally starting season 2 with the chases on. :)
  • Thanks, man! It seriously was a *great* feeling. :)
  • It turns out that week 3 isn't *anywhere* near as bad as I thought it would be!!! I was actually able to run the one-minute intervals, so I am pretty much ecstatic!!! :D
  • My current top 5 are: "Lift Me Up" - Five Finger Death Punch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-2yuGgp_U8 "I Will Wait:" - Mumford & Sons - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGKfrgqWcv0 "Galvanize" - Chemical Brothers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu3FTEmN-eg "Burn It Down" - AWOLNATION -…
  • Awesome!!! Thank you for the help! :)
  • Question for you folks who have done the ZR 5k app. I finished the 2nd week, but I know in my heart that I'm not ready to step it up to 5 minutes of running! My question is...on the 3rd week, does anyone remember if Dr. Meyers or anyone lets you know when ONE minute of running is completed? I would love to increase my…
  • I'm only two weeks into the 5k app, but no, I don't run straight through the free form runs. I think the idea is just to run if you are able to or if you feel like it, or otherwise, just walk. Intervals, like you're doing, seems to me to probably be the best bet. I admit...I'm a little worried about quitting it myself. The…
  • Congrats on the 5k graduation!!! Way to go! :) I just started using the 5k app, but I also just finished Season 1 of the main app, so I think you should be good to go with where you are right now. :)
  • This. As someone who just paid off a $500 doctor/physical therapy bill because I stupidly tried starting running while wearing cheap hiking boots from Walmart, I can 100% say that good running shoes are a MUST! Go to a store that specializes in athletic shoes, let them analyze you, and you will be fine. I paid $120 for the…
  • I've never tried using the shuffle feature...I kind of like just going in before a run and editing my playlist to sequentially play whatever 5 or 6 songs I'm in the mood for that day.
  • I'll add a vote for "Zombies, Run!". Words can't express how much I absolutely love this app! It's gotten me out running/walking more than anything ever has, and sometimes I find myself wanting to go twice in a day just to hear more of the story or collect more supplies for my base.
  • I'm kind of in the same boat. I started the Zombies Run 5k app in the spring, and I stupidly tried to do it while I was wearing cheap hiking boots, and I completely screwed up my left foot. :( But everything is on the mend now! I bought GOOD running shoes, and I've been out walking/light running almost every day with…
  • I don't know why, but even though I normally *love* Matt Smith's Doctor, I thought the last series was very...so-so. Because of that, I am really, really excited to have an older Doctor. I think it will really change things up! I just hope they bring back River Song as a love interest for him. I have an insane crush on her.
  • Welcome aboard, Runner Five!!! :)
  • Thank you, Amerielle. :) That's kind of what I was thinking. I may just repeat that week a few times to get better at it.
