Zombies, Run! 

Zombies Run iconIf you’ve read the last “Health & Fitness” article in The Driftwood, then you’ll have a little more context. But if you’re new and just reading for the first time, welcome! In the last Driftwood issue, I talked about the health benefits that running can have on your body. But today, we’ll spice things up a bit and add a supplement that will make your running adventures more fun.

If you have a smartphone, then you’ll be able to download apps. If you know how to download apps, then you have a key understanding of what those apps do, and if you know what apps do—you’re set. Zombies, Run! Is an ultra-immersive running game and audio adventure created to make people do one thing: run.

If you’re serious about running, then I highly suggest installing this app onto your phone and giving it a try! It features a multitude of story-based missions, one of which includes you using yourself as bait to draw the zombies away and bring safety to your home base. Here’s the challenge though: the mission doesn’t end until you’ve successfully reached a certain mile point—so be prepared for the longest run of your life.

The app also includes an unlimited-time zombie horde chase, where you can track your distance, set up your own running timer, and increase your stamina. Did I mention that it’s FREE to install?

If you enjoy playing games on your phone, why not get healthy while doing it? This intense and action-packed game will take you on the run of a lifetime.

P.S: There’s also a second app from the Zombies, Run! creators, and it’s called Zombies, Run! 5k Training. It guides you through an 8-week training program for beginners that will improve your fitness so you can successfully run a 5k. If you liked the first app, then you’ll be sure to like this one, too.
