Zombie convert

I 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 wasnt 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 wasnt capable of running. If I couldnt succeed at running 1 minute, how could I hope to make it to a 5K target?

Zombies, Run! is different. 15 seconds isnt 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!"

Im 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 didnt tell me to stop. Otherwise, it appears that I merely needed a zombie apocalypse to convert to running.
