Well, I ran so many worlds this morning that it was just fair to bag quite a few achievements!

On Zombie Run (running app with a zombie story) I managed to survive a helicopter crash, run from a mob of zombies, rescue crucial medicine and collect some underpants (clean, and still in its packet, so I’m told!)😳

On RunLeJog I finally managed to hit the 50mile mark!!! Yes! I got one of those postcards!!

And at home I smashed 3 records: longest run, fastest 5k (fast is relative here 🀣), and biggest elevation! And of course, it was a glorious morning!

To top it all off, I registered with Parkrun some time ago, and just put in my time for my local (not)parkrun. I’m the slowest on there, but slowly does it....

For those interested in ZombieRun, here a tiny review:

At the beginning I wasn’t quite sure when to walk (warmup) and when to run slow or fast, so I just did my usual 5k routine. The app works with your music, which is really nice. So it comes on (like C25k app) only when something is happening in the story. On the way you pick up stuff, useful for upgrading your base. So overall really fun to be part of a narrative journey! And if your run is further than the story mission, it reverts simply back to your music. After the run you have your usual stats, just like a normal running app. So nice one! Thumbs up I’d say! πŸ‘πŸΌ

Happy running everyone!

That sounds great CBDB I must have a look at the ZombieRun app! It sounds like good fun so I’ll give it a go and report back. Good luck, and keep running from the zombies! πŸ§ŸπŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚οΈπŸ§Ÿβ€β™€οΈ

Yes it’s great fun. And there is plenty of free stuff to see if this is something to buy into more fully! Maybe I’ll see you as runner 9 or 12 in Zombieland soon? We could probably do with more runners to keep the supplies coming!

Yes, this is fun cubed! One thing can be said for virtual races and runs; one can pretend to be in different worlds all at once.

It’s like reading a book πŸ“š and watching a film πŸŽ₯ whilst running your 5k πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ!

Yup, I was even tasked with being a running decoy whilst they fixed the gate. I was running circles around them! Boooyah!

Woohoo!πŸ˜„ Great run CBDB! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜„

Thanks for the review- I have always feared that my slow pace would result in β€œeaten by zombies” - (Do zombies eat people??) πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Hmmm, I think zombies bite.... on the second mission my co-runner is coughing conspicuously! I think she might soon turn into a zombie!

Big stuff here...records galore!!

Well done you πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Great you have a milestone postcard and your PB's too. You are doing so well. Love it 😊😊😊

Well done on getting to 50 miles on LEJOG. What an achievement. And an achievement on your 5k. You will be getting to JOG at this rate. I'll be waiting at the finish line cheering you on.

Thank you ! πŸ™ I think I might just get home though! I would love to get one of those medals (would be my first) but I’m just to slow to reach JOG in 365 days. But that’s ok πŸ‘πŸΌ . My mantra for myself is: long live slow! 😊

Right, what have you done CBDB? For the first time in my life you have me intrigued by zombies πŸ§Ÿβ€β™€οΈ πŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚οΈ! Sounds like you are having a huge amount of fun on your runs 😁

Yes! I know!!! I’m really not a zombie-pop-culture fan, but I really love arts, stories, narratives. And then I’m a sucker for creative tech. And since 6 months I indulge in my newest passion: running.

So to have an app where the developers have combined the power of storytelling with the power of data-driven running stats, and all to provide a real fun experience of keeping on running ..... wow! Just the concept is worth an Oscar, I think!

I think there will be more story telling to come for running apps, but this is the first and yes, I think running to Zombie Run is a humongous amount of fun!

β€’ in reply toCBDB

I’m even more intrigued now. I think I’m going to have to check this out. It sounds like something my daughter would love if only she would run!

CBDBGraduate10β€’ in reply to

Ha ha! Yes, I tried it with my son (16) but it was too uncool a concept for him! Teenagers! No sense for pop culture!

NRC was also declined. So he went out on an all-out run, not wanting to take it slow, and never ran since then because it was too exhausting AND too boring ! <sigh> I tried, but he will have to learn for himself , I fear.

It all sounds completely bonkers CBDB but possibly quite addictive! And it’s obviously helping your LEJOG ! Well done on getting to 50 miles - and welcome to Parkrun/(not)Parkrun!

CBDBGraduate10β€’ in reply toOldgirlruns

Thank you! Yes, I was chuffed simultaneously in so many worlds, and my 5k (not)Parkrun was special!

Thank you! πŸ™πŸ˜Š Very happy to be the Bridge-LEJOG tail runner! (I’m also just amazed 🀩 by your photo collage thing as well! Those crazy tiles were a thing of beauty!! And of course the β€œoh-myβ€œ 150 miles!)

Thank you CBDB πŸ˜€

The card is made up from an app called Diptic, free for the most part but some minimal costs for extra features.

Enjoy πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ
