    Sooo giving the zombie one a go. Do you know if you can run Nike+ at the same time?

    I've not tried if I'm honest - you can run background apps as I use Google Play Music for in-run tunes. Have a go and report back? :)

    Last night's mission was a bit frivolous and fun - great pick-me-up after a few dark missions :)

    Ha - So much more fun than just listening to music! LOL. Almost died when I was being chased and I had to cross a busy road! LOL. Had to remind myself that I wouldnt die if the zombie caught me, but probably would if I got myself run over! : -) And yes, you can run NIKE+ at the same time. Just turn off the voice-overs though as they interfere with the audio on the zombies app and you might miss something! :-) Loved it - have already subscribed to the full programme

    It's amazing isn't it! Yep I had to learn to run on the spot (I use step tracking) to avoid being eaten at the roadside :)

    I'm so glad you like it, it's really motivated me to get moving on a regular basis as I'm well into the story now :)

    Finished Season 1 main missions last night. Got the 5k, 10k and 20k missions next...then Season 2.

    Best £15 I ever spent.

    Mission 4 for me next - My husband has already done that one and has said its a good one! I might give the 5k and 10k missions a go, but I think the 20k is probably stretching it a bit for me - LOL! Maybe one day - and I can always come back to them as my fitness improves! : -)

    I use Runtastic!
    But I'm going to try Zombies Run, it seems funny! Thank you

    I use Mapmyrun. Find it weirdly motivating to be told how far I've gone and my split times etc!


    I tried the Zombies, Run! version of Couch to 5k and really liked it but at the time it didn't work with Spotify for some reason so I gave up on it. If that's been fixed though I might try it again.

    I had issues with music and the Z to 5k app, the full Zombies Run game apparently is OK with it though :)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I have been using Endomondo for almost one year, so far so good. I like its community and thanks to regular community challenges and the increased features found in 'Pro' mode I could chase after other people's personal bests from all over the world, which encourages me to persist in running.:D
