I Am Runner 5



I don’t do this very often, but I have a flat-out product recommendation.

I was a kickstarter backer for an app called “Zombies, Run!”  You may have heard of it, I finally got the chance to use it, and I can’t recommend it enough.

I’ve been using the weekends for strictly cardio at the gym, which is a nice change for me, and offers me some better people watching, so I loaded up some music and started the app.

The premise of the app is that you’re a runner for the town of Abel in a zombie-infested world, although Mission one sets it all up.  You run out, collecting items the town needs and have to evade zombies.  Zombies will randomly pop up each mission and you have to run faster, otherwise you have to drop an item to distract them and get away.  The story is told to you between the music on your phone, and as you pick up items, you hear that over the music.

The voice acting is out of this world amazing and I’ve already become sucked into the story and the characters.

There is an “expansion” for couch to 5k, which I’ve done before, but I’d like to do it again, and it fits between missions one and two, so perfect for me.

I honestly wish I had more time at the gym during the week so I could do more missions, and I know the creators had said if it was a big enough success they would record a season two, so here’s hoping.

I’ll probably be adding a link to the sidebar, but until then, if you want to follow along and see my progress, check out my town here.

Zombies, Run! is available for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone (the c25k expansion is not yet available for Windows Phone, but at least in Google Play, it’s on sale for a buck right now).
