Don't get me wrong, I enjoy running. I really do. Sometimes it's just miserable. OK, I lied, most of the time it's miserable. I either let myself think I'm tired, or just get bored. Still, I always make myself go for runs because, you know, it's good for you and I feel great after. I just want to die during. Sometimes that little voice in my head isn't quite enough, though. Luckily, I stumbled upon an amazing app and I've never had more fun running.
The app, Zombies, Run!, is kind of like Pokémon Go, but instead of walking around to find a Pikachu or Squirtle, you're running, jogging, or walking to find supplies to rebuild your town. Oh, and you're being chased by a horde of zombies. Plug in your headphones and listen to characters in the game helping you by warning you of certain obstacles or when zombies are coming.
Zombies, Run! combines the features of other run tracking apps with competing in a fun game. It not only tracks your distance and lets you share your mission results, it includes interval training and works whether you're running outside or on the treadmill. The game even connects to your music and plays your favorite running playlist. It's like being in a cool zombie TV show and getting an intense workout all in one.
So, if you get bored easily with running like me, I definitely suggest you spice it up with this app. Click here to download for either iOS or android devices.
What better thrill is there than running from pretend zombies? Maybe running from actual zombies, but that isn't possible. Yet.
