Anybody running with Zombies?

[JonathanRyan]

I started the C25K from the nice Zombie people the other week. And for a "joke" app* it's really incredibly good.

Found myself tired at the end of a run the other day and then started smiling because I'd just picked up an assault rifle

Anybody else using it?

* of course it's not a joke at all. It has some proper training behind it. But it also has zombies.

Never heard of it before, but sounds like a fun way to liven up a boring run.

Heard of it before, sounds great! I need some motivation to get off my fat arse and shed some timber. Hopefully this will help... Downloading as we speak

You'll (probably) love it.

Which version did you get? I'm on the 5k training one since it turns out you can't suddenly start running 5 miles a day.......

b****r. I got the other one although I haven't tried it yet. Didn't realise it was for experienced runners. Could it be used on a bike as well as running?

My daily commute to work is a smudge over 5 miles on cycle paths, would make it more interesting!

Not sure. The missions are based on time rather than distance - I think they are around 40 mins. However, there's no reason you can't walk with them and then run a bit when the zoms appear. A review I read of it said "if you can move a bit faster than you usually move for short periods of time then you'll win".
