Zombies, Run! 5k Training for Positive User Reviews
✓ OpionCould u add in the zombie chase please well if you do thanks.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Excellent way to train!I have struggled in the past with running. I've always wanted to use running as a method of keeping fit but always found it too dull. This app provides enough interest and motivation to stick to the training plan. The online component is well designed and interesting too. I have no doubt I will be able to complete the 5k next week when I attempt it - but even if I couldn't I would be happy with the progress and motivation that this app has provided..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Absolutely Love itBefore I got this app I hated running, I saw this on best running apps for beginners and decided it would be a fun way to get fit for summer and next netball season.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Ignore Glitches. You, yes YOU will run 5km in 8 weeksSorry for the long review however I am hoping it inspires just 1 person to be a better self. 8 weeks ago my son (aged 8) did a 1km “fun run”. I wished I had run with him, but wondered if I could actually run £1K. Inspired by my son, Later that day I went for a run. I got 400 yards - I had to stop, my gums and teeth went numb through lack of oxygen, I felt sick. I needed help and after much research opted for this app. Negatives: yes it has glitches. Some of the descriptions do not accurately reflect the days program, I am sure at least once it told me I had a minute left and then made me run two. Yes, you do feel a little silly doing the exercises in between the runs (although they really build stamina). However, I kept to the program. It wasn’t easy. I never got back home thinking “that was easy”. I did always get a sense of accomplishment though. Today, 8-weeks later, I ran over 5K (I actually did 6k as I had a little energy left). So am I some super fit chap who needed a push? No, I am 48 years old. Weigh 250lbs (17 stone 8) and cannot touch my own toes (who am I kidding - before downloading this app I couldn’t see my toes). Download it - follow it. YOU will run over 3 miles in just 8-weeks from now..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Great app!A couple of glitches, but overall, this has really helped me to run further and faster..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Love the motivationIt crashes from time to time if you try to run too many things at once. But if you start your music first, then start your run it tends to work great..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Buy this app now! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻This app is exceptional! I've always found jogging/running hard and an absolute chore, because of that I've always given up after a few attempts at getting fit by running. Since I've started using Zombies,run 5K I can honestly say I LOVE it! So much so the first thing I do when I get home from work is change into my running gear, grab the dog and continue my journey with this app in rain or shine! It's superb! If you run somewhere quiet & alone when those zombies are after you it's actually scary and trust me you will run! I also admit to checking behind me periodically to make sure no zoms are coming!! If you are looking to get fit and be entertained by an excellent story coupled with your choice of music download the app, you won't look back...except to check for zombies!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Excellent!A brilliant introduction to jogging. A gentle learning curve which cleverly combines interval training with a narrative, while still running to whatever music that gets you pumped. For me it's a perfect mix. Yes, it is a bit like an audio book, tho the website adds more interactivity, stats, and rewards. The main app had more interactivity, but this one is a great intro to running. Brilliant!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ 15 second fix, yay!I love this app! Mine does not crash, but the 15 second walk run drills were definitely not always 15 seconds. So I’m excited Six to Start is fixing this bug. The voice acting is great! You get to know some of the secondary characters better, and the overall tone is lighter and more optimistic than the main game. (The plot if the 5k trainer takes place early in the first season of the main game.) I adore the main game too of course..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Couple of tiny things could be updatedLove the app, great for beginners to running and the story really helps keep me motivated. I just think that since the main Zombies Run app can link to the Apple Health app this one should do the same, it would be nice to see the workout reflected there, but it's not a big issue. The only problem I've had is when I click on the pictures for more info on some of the exercises it takes me to dead links. Little demo vids or updated links would be great, it would also be epic to have a guide to which are the best stretches to do during cool downs..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Did it! I'm a runner!Did the 5K today. I can now say I'm going for a run instead of I wish I could run, a big deal for a 51-year-old carrying a bit of spare and who has never had her interest sparked by any fitness regime enough to keep it up before. Now on to the missions. Thank you so much!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Love it...butSuch a great app, the runs are great and easy to follow. I have honestly recommended it to pretty much anyone who will listen! I have one issue and that is that it freezes when I try to stop my run. I have to fully close the app for it to work again. A great idea for improvement would also be a ‘tips’ guide with workout ideas for between runs, maybe some stretches or a guided walk? Thanks so much for such an epic app!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Good but..I have done couch to 5kms before and decided this would be more fun, interesting and it is! It does however jump in time quite a bit from week 2 to 3 (and again later) also the freedom run is a bit unstructured for real beginners, really you need more drills for more weeks until you know how and when to walk/run.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Awesome. Get this appI hate cardio but I can't wait to move onto the next days run. Great humor and nice storyline..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Works amazingly wellEntertaining and more important, following the program I went from barely able to run to finishing the 5k - and really enjoyed the process. The app does have a few bugs here and there, but overall worked great and thankful it got me running again! Excited to switch to the main app now :).Version: 2.1.0
✓ Old Runner.I got Zombies, Run! (The main app) when it first came out and loved it. Now, years later, I'm nowhere close to where I used to be, but wanted to keep with the idea-the Abel township story was what used to keep me running regularly. So when I went to re-download it, I found this! Perfect!!! It has the perks of hearing the Doctor and Sam Yao, but with a motivating, encouraging storyline. Keep it up!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ ZR5KSo far loving this app! The story is what's getting me motivated cause I always wanna know what I have to do next! Good for all paces!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Soo goodIt was so good hearing Sam’s voice again after all these years.Version: 2.6.3
✓ Well worth the money.I went through the entire program. At the beginning I was gasping for breath after 15 seconds. By the end I ran 5K and then some with no issues. At week 4 I paid for 1 month which saw me through the rest of the program. I’m going to download the main app now and pay for the full year. Well worth it. I still can’t believe the difference it made in just 8 weeks..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Best 5K App!Before Zombies Run I couldn't jog for more than a minute - just not a runner. Tried many of the couch to 5K apps and none really kept me motivated. This is the first I've finished. There is a bug where sometimes a song may not play from your playlist. I just quickly press pause and then play again (just pause for a second) and then the song starts. I can forgive that big cause the story and app is brilliant!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Finished!Thank you! First time I have ever finished a 5k run app! I have also lots 11kgs! Thanks for the interesting story loved it! Took me 3 months to finish but i did get to the end! 5k completed! Thank you! Now for Zombie, Run.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Amazing app!Absolutely in LOVE with this app. It is literally changing how I look at exercise and what my body has the ability to do. Obsessed with it - I've always hated running and been pretty unfit but with this app I can't wait to get back out there to carry on with the story :) and the running is totally manageable from the start! I would love a 10k version too!!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ UPDATEEEEE PLEASEEEEEPlease update ittttt.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Far far better than I had even hoped!I'm a sloth. I like sleeping, sitting on the sofa and moving slowly. I have never exercised. However I felt it was time to get a life and, after watching the developers discuss this app on the telly, I downloaded it. I'm 4 weeks in now and I love it. I get up at 6 on a Saturday to go for a run. I come home from work and change into my kit and go to find out what Sam and Maxine are up to. My friends don't know what to make of me but I send them all to the App Store to download this app. Worth every penny and more..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Love it!Love this app – it made me a runner when I never thought I would be able to do it. Am now almost done season two of the full version, in which I enjoy gathering tools and supplies and building my base. It just adds a little more motivation and fun. I was already in decent shape when I started this app but could just never get into running. The fact that this app started so slowly allowed for a feeling of success from the beginning. I had no problem running 5K by the end of the eight weeks. My husband did this app this spring and can also now run 5K for the first time. We did a little marathon together this summer – something I never thought we would do together and had so much fun doing it. I have recommended this app to numerous friends. Love it..Version: 1.2.2
✓ The Best 5K TrainerI’m now using this trainer for the third time, and I love it just as much as I did the first time I used it. The story is fun and interactive, and the running training itself is the best I’ve tried. I recommend this app to anyone who tells me they’re interested in starting running..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Finally finished it and worth itTook me three times to finish it, because of life getting in the way, but worth it. This app really is great and keeps you motivated. I could barely run 3 minutes when starting, now just ran straight for 45 minutes. The app has some issues but just reload and was fine..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Love itThis app is amazing. Gets me out to run every other day! Can’t wait to graduate on to zombies run. Thanks to all involved.Version: 2.5.2
✓ A great app!!!I've never consistently exercised at all, maybe when I was a little kid, but definitely not in my teenage years. However, yesterday I completed all 8 weeks of this app and it was so much fun! I never knew running could be as enjoyable as it was while doing this training. I didn't think I would be able to finish 8 weeks of any kind of exercising, so being able to do it all was an amazing feeling. I downloaded Zombies, Run! a few years ago and never really used it because I couldn't run much, but now I feel like I am in good enough shape to get more into it. I love exercising now, which I never thought I'd ever say that in my entire life..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Run, baby!I have SVT so increasing my heart strength gradually is really important. This app is amazing as it teaches you to build yourself up in increments, but also to not push yourself too hard you're struggling. I really recommend it for beginners like myself..Version: 1.0
✓ Best run app everThis app is amazing!! I use to be in shape until I had my son and well the rest is history or so I thought. This makes it fun to work out again and you don’t even know your pushing yourself that hard. I’m excited to keep playing!! I’ve even told my family and coworkers about this. They are excited to give it a shot..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Great training programThis is the only 5k trainer I’ve found that isn’t just straight running/walking. It has stretches and different walk exercises to help build stamina and prevent injury. I love the story, it keeps me going along. Thanks for such a great comprehensive program!.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Update neededAnd just crashes the app..Version: 2.6.4
✓ I am a runner!Just completed my couch to five K program final mission ran entire five K with out walking! When I started I could not run for a full minute. I am so thankful for the creators of this app and very proud of my self. If you are thinking of trying this out, do it! Fun story which lays some ground work for the actual zombies run app. Trust the process, even cheat a little if you need to, repeat a mission if you need to ! But trust the process. The final mission was extra cool as each of the characters come to congratulate you. I loved this app, now on to Zombies run!.Version: 2.6.4
✓ Almost addictiveI was using a different running app but was getting bored. I heard of this through a friend of a friend and I love it! I think the story could be a little more padded as there are quite a few gaps with no dialogue but what story there is is great. The intro run is fantastic and more of this pace of story/dialogue throughout would make it 5*. I've never ran so hard in my life as I did during the intro and I loved it! Also it's maybe not ideal for use on a treadmill as stopping to stretch and do heel lifts etc aren't very easy but I manage just fine regardless. What I really want to know is why isn't there a Zombies 10k?!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Love Running Now!I have hated running since I was a kid. But when I wanted to lose weight, running was one of the most efficient was, so I dreaded the treadmill everyday. That is... till I started running with the Zombies. Now I can’t wait for the next run! Slimming down quickly too... thank you!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Love itI have an on going love / hate thing for the gym and keeping fit. But this was recommended to me. Just started week 1 and loving it all ready. The app plays my music but has a great zombie story to motivate up into the challenges. This idea for me without having to payout loads for a personal trainer and the gym. If your a geek but want to keep fit. This is ideal fitness app for you..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Excellent app except for one thing...This is great for people who are new to running. It gives you an idea on how often you should be running, and how far to push yourself. As well as its really motivational! However, I've tried a couple of times to share my progress via Facebook and it doesn't allow me :( I can do it on Twitter (which I don't really use) so I've just had to copy and paste my tweet to Facebook. But fiddly, really. I've tried to see if it's just Facebook not allowing it, but everything seems to be in order. Maybe a bug? Apart from that. It's amazing! :).Version: 1.2.2
✓ Now I want to exerciseEvery day I'm so excited for the next zombies, run session. Being a lazy person, this app is perfect because it's like a story..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Week 2 workout 2Week 2 workout 2 keeps cutting off at the 19 minute mark. Fix this please.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Challenging jump week 2-3I love this app, and I don’t have crashing problems but the challenge level from week 2 to 3 is way too much. 2 has a total of 10 Min free form run, 3 has 21 min (in 5 , 8, and 8 min chunks.) left me frustrated and unable to finish the day. It’s going to take me longer than 1 week to make it through week 3, I’m afraid.Version: 2.0.9
✓ I can run!I have always wanted to be able to run, but lacked the motivation, this App gamified running enough that I now look forward to early mornings, just so I can hear the next portion of the story. I finished this App last week and now I'm onto the main game. I can't recommend this highly enough, it's amazing :).Version: 1.2.2
✓ Love it!There is now a new and devoted runner 5. The app is great for runners of all skill levels and the story engrossing. I already have the full zombies run! app and used this to restart my running. Thanks!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Keeping Me Alive!Having been unwell for a long time, this app gave me the confidence to start walking. This app gives a goal, a story and keeps you company, which, from a place of isolation, gave me the motivation to start feeling well and a sense of belonging with the support of my own Team! This App literally saved me! I’m still only walking, but I’m alive! #IAmRunner5.Version: 2.5.1
✓ I guess I like jogging now?I’ve never enjoyed or seen the point in even going for a walk let alone going for a run. I’ve always considered it to be dull, unnecessary, and pointless if there isn’t a destination. But this app has actually made me really look forward to going for a run. I’m not genuinely disappointed about my rest day and I honestly never in my wildest dreams thought I’d say I like running but I here I am and I really do. The story is so interesting, the progress is really well paced, and the extra features like the gps map it draws of your run and everything else are just great and so much fun. I can’t wait to get the training finished so I can move onto the main app and start building up the base..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Do it!!! Buy the app already!!I FREAKING love this app!!! The best 2 bucks I ever spent. I'm currently in week 5 of training, and it is still as fun as when I first started. I was really unfit and out of shape (only had a baby 6 months ago), but this suited my fitness level. I love how it sync's with the zombie link website and shows GPS tracking of my runs with accurate distances and speed. I cannot speak highly enough. I can't wait to finish training and start using the original Zombies, Run app. P.S. I don't work for the developer, I'm just a boring old housewife who enjoys running away from zombies. ;).Version: 1.0.2
✓ Fantastic appEverything you want from a fitness trainer - tips, mixed activity and a bit of entertainment. Zombies 5k has all of this and more. I'm finding I WANT to go running again to get to the next part of the story - and I'm finding my stamina is improving and I'm feeling much better for it!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Best running app ever!I had this app recommended to me by a friend and now I'd like to recommend it to everyone else! By far the best running app I've tried, the in ear training is easy to follow and the story is extremely engaging. I've improved my fastest km and overall run time since I started using the app! Get out there and start training for the zombie apocalypse!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Great training, buggy interfaceThe actual training is great, with stellar voice acting and a beginner-friendly program that ramps up each week. However, the menu lags so much that it takes forever to navigate to the correct training option—it can take me up to five minutes of waiting around and restarting the app (as it sometimes crashes while loading the later weeks). I’ve never had the app crash or act up once I’ve started a run, it’s just the menu..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Love this!This app is by far top five for me. I have never had an issue, it let’s you play music in the background. I keep wanting more no matter how many times I fall off personally this app helps me stay working towards my goal. To boot it also has a great storyline that makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Please updatePlease update the app so it will work on future versions of iOS, can it also be integrated into zombies run..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Pretty good so farReally enjoyed my first run with this app today, looking forward to my next one! But a bit disappointed that you can't manually input workout data into your stats, as I work out on a cross trainer so can't use the GPS function. Would also love an integration with my BT heart rate monitor at some stage..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Runner 5 here ... reporting back to baseTotally love this app. I'm not a runner - or I should say I wasn't a runner, but I'm starting Week 3 and so far this app is doing an incredible job of motivating me. Love the role-play aspect, it keeps me coming back for more. I want to know the story! Can't wait to finish up the training and get on with Seasons 1 & 2. Also, the Support Team has been great: I had a technical glitch (my fault) and found them really helpful. Am I really running? Me? Wouldn't have believed it! Runner 5 FTW.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Brilliant except for a few teething issuesI bought this app 3 weeks ago and I’m really enjoying it. It’s entertaining and I feel like I’m progressing comfortably. I also feel like I’m supported by a team of people - I know it’s just a story, but psychologically, it’s really great. I have so far had 2 glitches. The first was when the audio repeated itself during one of the trainings in week one. The second was when it stopped tracking my workout in week two. Neither of these are deal breakers, but there’s clearly a few issues that need to be worked through. A part from that, it’s a great app and I’m looking forward to graduating to the zombies, run full app!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Love the story... but would be better on the Apple WatchI love the story and really enjoy the app to get me running again. But this would be much better with Apple watch integration..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Only reason I started enjoying runningAlways really disliked running, but this gave me the motivation (or distraction) to get started. Now, I find myself thinking “what a nice day, would be good for a run”, or “maybe I don’t need extra music to distract me today”. 5k Trainer is a great place to start, and once you have enough self motivation to do more running than walking (eventually), move on to the real game! The 5k trainer and game play app are the only pair of apps I’ve kept from phone to phone..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Wow. That is all.This app is ingenious. For the first time, I'm seriously eager to get my kit on and jog-even in the pouring rain, as I'm desperate to know the next bit of story/collect more gear!! Each step up seems achievable and it breaks you in gently. Had some glitches with the built in music player not playing my iTunes, but I switched to the legacy player mode and had no probs with that. Best app I've ever bought, no question..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Amazing app!I love this app-I am not a runner at all, give me pizza, wine and the couch anytime! But this app makes working out fun even for a big girl who hasn't done jack in 15 years! Can't recommend highly enough!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Best way to 5kNot ever being a fan of running I very much doubted even an undead hoard could get my overweight a*** up to 5k. But after taking advice from zombieland rule 1 I took up the challenge. This app has a really progressive training program that neither seems too daunting or too slow. The story line is excellent too.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Does not workBroke half way through the second run, leaving me cold, in the middle of a field, waiting for instructions that never came, and being forced to listen to some old krautrock files I had on my phone.. Accurate depiction of a zombie apocalypse, yes, but not a great running app. Very disappointed..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Amazing!I love this app, it's brilliant. The story keeps me motivated and I look forward to my next run which is something I never thought I'd say! I used to hate exercise with a burning passion but this has totally changed my attitude :) It's amazing how this builds up your stamina because before I started I couldn't run a minute without it triggering my asthma, and now I can run 5 minutes straight no problem. I had to go 6 weeks without running due to illness, but when I returned to running I could still run 5 minutes without too much trouble and I couldn't believe it - but that has to do with how they train you on this app I'm halfway through training now and I'm really excited to see if I can run 5K at the end of it which I think I will! If you're thinking of buying this app, don't hesitate!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Motivating!Nothing motivates you to run quite like trying to escape a zombie right behind you. As a beginning runner, I really appreciate the story to accompany my running, and I’m already working toward some of my PRs and goals for running. The workouts have a nice variety as well which helps with a generally unmotivated trainer such as myself..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Completely addicted.I'm only in week three of training but I'm totally hooked. I've never been able to find anything to keep me engaged in workouts until I downloaded this app. Best app I've ever purchased..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great incentive for me to move moreI love the storyline for this app and The Walk. Helps me to motivate myself to move more. Great idea. Thanks.Version: 2.6.4
✓ MrsGreat and fun way start your training for marathon or to just get back into shape. I love this I hope there will be a 10k version if there isn't already..Version: 1.2.2
✓ AceDon’t normally write reviews but this is great. Took a while to sort out the settings but I think that’s more an iPhone thing. Would be good if the app worked with fitbit etc..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Motivates the unmotivated!!!I first heard about this app on Conan, & it sounded like the perfect solution to my procrastination to exercise (love basketball, surfing, karate etc. but I DETEST running!), & at first I expected zombies at every corner (apparently the full version has more zombies & more interactive for 'gamer' types). I did just get the full version so stay tuned...(btw they release v.2 very soon for iphone4 & beyond for FREE for those who already have V.1) I only have an iphone3 :( .Definitely recommend you do it at night in areas that aren't lit up like Christmas trees (provided you live in a relatively safe area - I take my overweight but ADHD pooch for peace of mind - though her constant zigzagging in front of me takes some getting used to). You can use it on a treadmill (just change settings I think). Really need to link up to the main site to get the most out of the gaming part of the app - if you like it buy the full version! For beginners though, I would get the 5k app first as it builds up at a very reasonable pace & allows you to choose the intensity to which you run at. If it can get me running - it can get anyone running!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great app for training!I recently got this app because I have Zombies, Run!, and I had no time to exercise due to being in college, but now I’m starting back running and this app is the best to help you get faster when running. I’m starting to notice that I’m getting a faster pace from it. The only part that is sad is that when I’m jogging or sprinting from imagining zombies, it is not tracking how many miles I have gone. I also wish that there is an Apple Watch feature, because I have to track how many miles I have gone from looking at my workout app on the watch. But overall I give this app a 4.5 star rating..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Good but with a few flawsIts actually great, the only thing that appeals to my complete lack of enthusiasm to running and sports!!! Would recomend and totally worth the price. However PLEASE fix the bug with the iTunes as Ive NEVER had it working with my music. This would improve it ten fold. Also as a subjective note, the acting is sometimes questionable, its not very scary and the plot is quite slow (7 sessions in and i still haven't been properly chased by a zombie.) However!!! I AM 7 sessions in and enjoying it, so over all it must be bloody good! So - Please fix the iTunes bug and consider bringing out an adult one with swearing, gore and terror and you will have a 5star product on your hands!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Love it, but...I love this app and what it’s done for me, but looking through the runs is so damn laggy.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Get this appThis app has pushed me farther and harder. I was in the army for years and had to run daily... I hated it! For the first time ever I enjoy running and it is due to this. You get a story while your working out and nothing motivates you more then the sounds of a zomb on your tail!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Loving it!It makes working out an adventure!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Best return to run program!Recently broke my foot and bought this as a return to run program. Works fantastically. I love not having to keep track of time intervals, the game does it all for you. Highly recommended and lots of fun!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great training overallNearly finished the 8 weeks and I have to give credit where it’s due. Very well designed program, you’ll certainly improve over the training period if you follow the apps lead and push yourself to improve. Unfortunately, it does have an occasional tendency to crash during training. Initially I thought it could be because I was tracking with my Fitbit as well as the app (sharing gps), but having switched to a Garmin tracker with built in gps, I’ve still had the app crash. Not a lot, but enough to be frustrated by it. The lack of a auto save so that you can restart where you left off in case of a crash is disappointing. Overall, if you want to get in shape, this is a great utility..Version: 2.1.0
✓ The only 5K Trainer That WorksI’ve never finished it because I don’t follow instructions and keep hurting myself. (Take days of when they tell you to). Not only odd the story engaging enough to keep you interested, but the actual exercise design actually accomplishes the goal! I improve so much and feel so motivated that I run on off days and without guidance go too hard..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Needs an update; still excellentThe story pacing can be less compelling than the main ZR app, one or two eye rolling moments (the scanners were clear, but now a zombie has appeared to chase me through the final stretch?), and a bug causes songs over 5 minutes to prevent any further music playing for the rest of the run. With all that, though, Alderman is an excellent writer, the cast are mostly of a very high calibre, and the exercises seem to be well thought out to make you push yourself. Overall, despite one or two issues, I can definitely recommend this to anyone who probably needs to get fit, but needs an incentive like a fun story. If they fixed the music bug, I'd probably up my review to 5 stars..Version: 1.2.2
✓ AwesomeWhen I first started running I couldn't run for more than a minute or two. I hated running, mainly because I sucked at it. Then I got this app, and it completely changed my perspective. The first few runs are pretty easy, but they slowly get harder and work you up to be able to run 5k. I can run 5k now! It really does work! And the storyline, oh the storyline, <3 . The only thing is that this app can be buggy at times, sometimes I'd have to stop and start the mission to get the audio to play, and the very last run (the 5k one) didn't ever say 'workout completed' even though I'd finished it. The benefits outweigh the bugs though. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a fun, effective couch to 5k program..Version: 1.0.2
✓ AWSOME!I have been waiting for this to come out since they started hinting about it 6 months ago. was pretty good, if you are having trouble with the music you need to change your default music player in the in game options of this app, the first few runs the intervals are pretty short, to try and build up your stamina. I love this game and the whole zombies run universe!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great Motivation!Its great motivation to get one to run! Good story line and good training! The only thing thats bad is that it doesnt shuffle you play list and also sometimes the songs wont start so you have to quickly paise the mission and then start it to get the music going! Other then that its FRICKEN AWESOME!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Good app, has some problemsThis app is exactly what I needed to get me running again. The story isn’t /really/ a story as it is with the regular zombies, run app, but it’s enough to keep me engaged and make me want to keep going. It does crash semi regularly though, especially with the run tracker set to “constant” and there’s no way to start back up where you left off after that, so just keep that in mind. Update: It has crashed 4 out of the last 5 times I’ve used it. I think I’m beginning to figure out what makes it crash but it’s suuuuuuuper irritating. If you’re like me and you’re doing this in part because you like getting the little “well done!” notices and stamps at the end DO NOT USE THIS APP; it’s causing me a lot of stress and making me want to give up entirely. For less of a chance of it crashing turn on step tracking, keep your screen on, and do Not exit the app at any time during the workout. That includes pulling down the shortcuts screen. It might still crash even then, but it will more likely to not. Good luck..Version: 2.6.3
✓ I’m actually looking forward to runningGreat app that’s lots of fun. The only feedback I have is that after my run is done, I can’t see the story tab for very long. I click on it and opens for 1-2 seconds and then it closes back up again so i have to keep on clicking on it to read about my reward..Version: 2.0.9
✓ So motivationalYes, there are a few glitches, but it makes running so much more interesting! It is so worth the price. It does start slow and sometimes the increases seemed a little too big, but it is a great C25k program. It has made me a runner!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ It will get you running :)I'm already semi-fit but wanted something to get me into running more frequently and longer distances. This game is great, the voice actors have really got me wanting to complete the next stage of the game. It is pretty obvious though that the 5k version of Zombies, Run! is designed for people who have never left the couch before. I ride a 32km round trip for work 3 days of the week and also do group outdoor fitness once a week. The training in this game starts with a 10min walk, then intervals of 15 second runs with a 60 second "recovery". This is WAY too easy for anyone with a fitness level like me. I'll stick with it though and finish this version but really can't wait to start the full Zombies, Run! which is probably what I should have began with..Version: 1.2.2
✓ I can run 5k!As of today, I finished this app. I ran 5k in 41 mins. The girl who couldn’t even run a mile in school ran 3 miles easily. This app is fantastic and I can’t recommend it highly enough! I’ve tried other c25k apps before but this one is just so much more interesting; it really motivates you to get out there and go running. Now it’s onwards and upwards to the main app. Raise the gates!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ The best couch to 5k appI’ve been a fan of Zombies! Run for a while but stopped running after an injury. The 5k App is getting me back in shape gradually. Unlike other couch to 5k programs, this app breaks up the running with other simple exercises to keep your legs in shape. The story is well integrated too, so the run isn’t boring. You can even stream music in the background..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Great appWorks well with me as I want to get better at running long distances and I really like zombies.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Good running app for beginnersI started out barley able to run a mile straight through and almost no experience on running. I maybe had a 13 min mile. I have been doing this program for 8 weeks and my mile time is now 8:27! This app is great to use as motivation and helped me with my endurance so much! I am now very fit and happy! I did hear other complain of bug problems and issues but I have had none so far *knock on wood*. Honestly this app changed my lifestyle and I’m going to get the next app after I’m done with the program!.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Running made fun!I love the story and find this much more inspiring than the usual couch to 5k. I’ve just finished week 1 and though usually a reluctant jogger I find that I am really looking forward to my Zombie run each day. Absolutely brilliant concept..Version: 2.6.3
✓ FunIt’s a fun take on exercise for sure.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Crash alertGame crashes as you begin the training (5 seconds into audio) therefore can't give a fair star rating..Version: 2.0.5
✓ 10k PleaseI love this app as much as I love the primary ZR ZR app. Whenever I’ve fallen into a bit of ac rubbing rut I use this program to it me back up to top shape. While I know the primary app has a version of 10k training that sets times and runs, I would absolutely pay for a 10k version like this one with a separate story line and the daily perks to train. There is something so much more fulfilling about the daily cards tracking your progress that really keeps you on track. I hope the developers have considered this option. Thank you for all you do.Version: 2.6.3
✓ Great app for aspiring runners or anyone looking to get more active.First, the training is great. I’m not, and have never been a runner, but feel great and am about to run a 5K after finishing every other training session. Story is good, obviously a starter, but great for anyone into podcasts or audiobooks. I did run into some bugs though - not all my runs would sync with Activity app until I reinstalled the app and occasionally the app would lose its place in the story. I restarted a workout because of this and now didn’t get credit for my Week 8 Workout 2 even though it shows up in my run logs. Overall, highly recommended and definitely trying the regular app..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Love it!!!Me and my 10 year old are doing this, we have completed run 3 so far and really enjoy it. The story makes it fun! I’m not a runner but this is making me want to try! Good job.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Lots of funSo easy to get out running with this app. Very motivational. Have had no issues at all..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Love it!Eight weeks ago the only running I did was for the bus. I still have one run left and I can now run a full 5k with only two three minute breaks (after the second and fourth k). I do have to say that it started out much easier than I needed it to but in some ways it was a good lead up because it gave me an early sense of mastery and I just compensated by pushing myself really hard during the 15 sec sprints. I highly recommend this product. It may be less interactive than the full version but it provided me with the motivation I needed to stick with it..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Brilliant!Had Couch to 5k but no motivation. Stats don't do it for me. Thought I'd give Zombies a go, even though it sounded completely bonkers. Love it! Really looking forward to my next run/mission - and the stats are interesting as I can see which story or so g had me running better. Genius app, highly recommend..Version: 1.2.2
✓ I'm so motivated to run right nowI love this app. I was going to start my training for a 20k in 5 months time with the original Zombies Run but I thought this seemed a more sensible start...and I was right. I was totally unfit when I started this and I'm confident that by the time I'm finished the 8 week programme ill be ready to up my game and switch to the original Zombies Run app to get up to 20k. I feel like its a TV show I look forward to 3x a week. I would like the sharing option to Facebook to include my times however.Version: 1.0.2
✓ New runner- thank you!I couldn't have done it without this app. I've been trying to become a runner for years, but my asthma has always gotten in the way. However, the way that this app progressed from the level of a very beginner to a 5k runner made it possible for me to keep up! Not only that, but on my first 5k run I actually ran 6.5k :) I would recommend this app to anyone! I'd love it if they came out with a 10k app as well..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great training app!I absolutely love this running app. Before trying this I couldn’t keep a steady pace for too long but now with the training I can run constantly for a good amount time and seeing improvements every time I run with the Zombie 5k. Love the story with the run just like the regular Zombie Run and always look forward to having this on when I’m running. I’m hoping the app can have further training after I’m done going through all the runs..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Only First Three Weeks Are FreeThis a very fun app! Getting back into running after 3 yrs and without a running buddy, this helps fill that gap. The workouts are well thought out and the story is simple but fun and encouraging. Works well with music, but not audiobooks, as the app doesn't pause the music/talk, but just lowers it while they speak. I paid the $35/yr for the rest of the program. When I’m done I hope I get my $ worth out of my Zombies, Run subscription..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Mind the time!I wish the app would be aware of the distance instead of the time. My first race I ran 3 km in 40 minutes, I mostly walked and was exhausted! The last race I ran a full 5 km in just under 35 minutes. So it did it's job... I just had to leave my phone running a full 20 minutes because the workout had a 55 minutes timer on it..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Really funIt’s totally motivating, and I love that I can listen to music as well!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ This app works!Before this app I couldn't run to save my life, but by the end of the 8 weeks I can now run 5km (with a PB of 33 minutes!) I really don't think I could have done it without the regular training and motivation this app gave me. Highly recommended for beginners!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ AmazingJust broke my personal best running distance by 2extra kilometres. Great app..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Brilliant- what an entertaining way to get in shape!First- the story production is fantastic, entertaining with some mystery. I did learn that you have to hit the stop button after your run otherwise it doesn’t log the run. I also had one issue where I had to restart my phone because the app was frozen but despite this I still give this app 5 stars. Unlike other ‘couch to 5k’ programs, they don’t bleed your bank account dry with a monthly fee. I was looking for a 5k trainer that was different and reasonably priced- this is it! I applaud what you do- thanks for creating an entertaining way for me to get in shape..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Best thing I ever didI'm not a runner, I HATE Cardio in all its forms, and yet thanks to this app Im 8 weeks later and just completed the final 5k run. You still need to build a decent playlist to run along with but this is solid training starting with baby steps. Suddenly it's week 4 and your running for 15mins ,week 6 and your running for 20min blocks with wind left for more. It's just excellent..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Love it! And I'm not a runner!I used to dread the idea of even a walk but thanks to this app I walk/run three times a week with my dog and I can feel the change in strength in my muscles. Definite recommendation for beginners!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great appThe zombies make it interesting, motivating and fun. Good dialogue and storyline, good pace/progression, easy to follow. All in all, best few $ I've spent in a long while..Version: 1.2.2
✓ BraaaiiinnnsssI've done couch to 5k before but I find myself enjoying the variety and the story in Zombie5k more. Also, the support team are fantastic. Keep up the good work!.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Basic but fun!Great voice acting, and enough instructions and story to keep you focussed. I got very attached to the characters! The rest of the time it leaves you to your own playlist, (although if there’s not time for a whole song before the next announcement you might get a few minutes of silence). Nice story, straightforward and does what it says on the tin. Loving it..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Big dealI hate running. With a passion. This app makes me want to get out running...that’s a big call.Version: 2.5.1
✓ I am able to run a mile now in 11 minutesThis app is great despite a few crashes here and there. I started this training a year ago and I’m now able to run for 15 minutes non stop. A year ago, I couldn’t even run 2 minutes heck, let’s be honest, before I started my weight loss journey, I couldn’t do a minute running. I’m a slow starter but I’m so proud that even after a couple months off, I’m still able to run a mile in 11 minutes. I’m almost done with my training but I’m hoping by the end of it, I can run a 5 k non stop. I want to be able to keep up with my cousin..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Best 5K trainer outGamify all of the things.... but seriously following the storyline makes me regret the rest days in between episodes. The encouragement and support from the characters makes it almost feel like they are actually watching and helping you train I really feel part of this imaginary world that appears around me every time I go for a run and the exercises built in between the walk/run legs are a stroke of genius really adding interest and awareness to the way movement feels, I love skipping down the road because doctors orders 😉 who cares if anyone is watching it’s great fun.Version: 2.0.8
✓ Great for beginnersI started out on the original Zombies, Run! app but found that instead of running I was spending a lot of time walking so I could run away from the zombs! Seeing as I bought the app for a fitness kick that was a bit sad. This, however, is exactly what I need - an interesting story that slowly gets you fitter without you noticing while keeping you engaged. Maybe then I can graduate to Zombies, Run!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ So much funSo much fun. Beats talking. Just wish there was a watch app?.Version: 2.6.3
✓ It just works!I’ve tried a lot of apps and this one is just great! With others either music doesn’t work or the program is just not what I need....love the free form runs! I would really like to choose the next workout without scrolling through the pages. Also, when I click on stop after my run, it takes quite a while to complete..Version: 2.0.9
✓ If it can help me, it can help anyoneI am not a motivated person, and I previously hated running, but this app got me running and loving it. I look forward to my runs and get excited about them. The story and characters are compelling, the coaching and encouragement are awesome. I love completing a mission and feeling like I’ve accomplished something big, when all I really did was run on my treadmill. This app was exactly what I needed to get exercising. I’ve enjoyed getting more fit and more confident, and can’t wait to graduate to Zombies, Run!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ I've never run a 5k - now I can!This app is fantastic - both for its story, which keeps you coming back for more, and for its slow and steady approach to building up running. The story really keeps you entertained and it's really encouraging - as someone who used to hate running, I have to put the credit to this app for building me up and helping me enjoy it. Onto the main app now!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Ran longer than I ever have before!Last fall, I started using ZombiesRun5K to see if I can run longer. At first, I was embarrassed and felt dumb that I could barely run the 10 seconds the app would ask. On Week 4, I found myself running nonstop to a full 3-minute song. I’ve never been able to do that in my entire life, and I was in track in high school! Best advice: stick with it! I had to stop cuz of winter weather, but I’ll be kicking back up again in April. The story makes me want to keep going :D.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Zombies 5kAbsolutly amazing! thought i should lose some weight and get fitter, if thats what your looking for download this app! i thought it was a stupid idea im on week 3 now and have ran over 4k each run. you can see your stats each run, theres diffrent workouts each week! cant wait till i become a 5K runner and am lookig forward to my next run/mission.Version: 1.2.2
✓ A really nice ideaI have “tried” learning to run before, on a variety of programs. “Tried” here being a euphemism for running on schedule for a week but then subsequently finding an excuse for not doing it again. “It is too hot, it is too rainy, it is too cold.” But it turns out that all I was lacking this whole time was the option to pretend that there were zombies chasing me. The story is interesting and has kept me running long after most other things can. (Real zombies would have me running like Usain Bolt though!) As for the program itself, it is literally designed to take you from nothing to 5k, so if you have any kind of running background the first few weeks will probably be pretty slow for you. That being said, the program also seems to advance pretty quickly, and hitting week four has been a challenge for me. Not entirely sure I’ll make it through on schedule! It would be nice if there were some kind of flexibility built in for people who cannot advance as quickly. Operationally the app runs smoothly, and i have not had a problem with glitches or crashes so far. I always play music in the background, but have also run an Interval timer during some of the longer free form runs, and this works smoothly through it all. Satisfied overall, and would like to see more apps of this type..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Finally some motivation!I’ve always wanted to get into running and I’ve never really succeeded. However, I’ve now completed my third training session and I’m excited to keep going. I’ve even booked myself into a 5km community run to mark the end of the programme. The stories are well written and interesting, and I look forward to getting out regardless of whether my legs hurt!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Zombie convertI am not a runner. Between my 10 seconds of stamina and fear of being knocked out by the jiggly bits, running has never been a favourite pastime. Walking has always been my safe replacement. Yet, it wasn't enough. In the last couple years, I began to develop a jealousy for the runners I watched pass me by (and pass me by... and pass me by). I decided to become a convert. My first runner apps simply told me I wasn't capable of running. If I couldn't succeed at running 1 minute, how could I hope to make it to a 5K target? Zombies, Run! is different. 15 seconds isn't just possible, it is celebrated. There is a recognition that a new runner needs encouragement, whether it is "only 15 more seconds!" or "OMG! The zoms are gaining!" I'm still working my way through the story and training but have seen a tremendous change in my stamina (and my jiggly bits). My only complaint is what appears to be glitches in the timing (so far in 2-2 and 3-1) where the last running interval didn't tell me to stop. Otherwise, it appears that I merely needed a zombie apocalypse to convert to running..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Only missing one thingI’ve had this app for years and love the pacing and story lines. There are occasional glitches where runs are cut short or the narrator forgets to tell you to stop, but really the only missing element is the ability to track my pace through my Apple Watch rather than through the phone. I know the watch doesn’t run GPS, but it would be nice to have the ability to sync to the watch for treadmill runs to get an accurate pace/distance in the log..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Fun Way to Get StartedIf you’re wanting to get into running this is a great way to get into it. It’s also a decent way to decide if you’re going to be into the larger app as a whole. I used this app to learn how to run and if it weren’t for this I wouldn’t have known how to take it on..Version: 2.1.0
✓ So much funThis app is fantastic. I have used it a couple of time, it's a great way to get to the 5km mark. I really enjoyed the story and it doesn't motivate you to get out there and run. I can't recommend it enough. Great audio quality, great training program, and a fun story..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Love it!The app started off a bit buggy for me but with the recent update it now works fine. Being a huge fan of the original Zombies Run app, I loved getting to know a bit more about the characters. It kept me entertained while running and top marks to the writers/actors for coming up with different ways to say "ok, start walking/running" & making it sound interesting. I'm not really a runner but am now on Wk 7 and am constantly surprised at how far I've come in terms of running. Highly recommend this app :).Version: 1.0.2
✓ Crashed twice in four runs…I started running with this app, and enjoyed myself. Except that I lost progress on two out of four runs because the app crashed at the very end of the run. Using a 64GB iPhone SE with Apple’s Music app running in the background. App crahsed during the first story explanation (entering Abel) and on Week 1, Workout 3..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Fantastic app, more exciting than the other 5k plans out thereI've used zombies, run previously, and it was the only part of running I look forward to! Now, this plan takes it a bit slower and I really enjoy the workouts, the story and the structure. I feel like I'm improving every run, and can't wait to hit the 5k distance and move onto the full Zombies, Run! app..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Worth it!I have asthma and have never been much of a runner, only ever was a sprinter. Long distances were daunting to me as I never had the stamina for anything over a mile. With this app, I’m shocked at how drastically my body has changed over the 8 weeks. I can run longer and faster while enjoying the interesting story taking place. I have the premium membership and live that it also includes the original app which has hundreds of missions! Get it, you won’t regret it! The gradual progression of this app is perfect and is challenging, yet doable..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Prepping to my first half marathon at 52 yoI have the whole package of ZR apps now. This January I suddenly even to myself decided to run half marathon this fall. At the age of 52. Yep. First race ever. And I hated running since school bit started appreciating run “me time”, zen state, and how I am proving to myself that I can do this too. Now I am halfway through 5K, next will be 10K, 10K+, and then Half Marathon Zombies Run prep app. Fun way to get ready! Will see in September, how well the program is designed from a running training standpoint ;) I am now even thinking to get myself a ZR t-shirt for the run, just as a thank you for helping me to get ready and achieve this fit!.Version: 2.6.3
✓ I love itWhen I started this app I couldn't run for one minute, now I can do 10k. It makes it really easy to start running even if you don't feel you can run at all, the story line is interesting and there is loads of encouragement. I got hooked and started the main Zombies Run app after I had completed this one, I now run four or five times a week and have entered 5k races. Before I started this app I would never have believed I could do that..Version: 1.2.2
