Very quick 30min run this morning, after the last 5k run (which for me is (still) classed as the weekly long run).
Had to wait until it got a bit light, as I haven’t found a street route yet that I like. So was jumping at the bits by the time the dark lifted.
There was a lovely fog, I had to wear my light gloves and I definitely need to now look for a running hat. My 🧢 was a bit too light.
And I ran too fast for any zombies to catch me!
I have to say, I am really impressed by the Zombies, Run 🧟♀️ 🧟♂️app. Besides the missions (your normal runs), it also has workout programmes, statistics, some more shorter storylines to run to specific destinations and interval training. And all that even before the paywall.
Having looked into it and searched on here, there is even a Couch to 5k app, Zombie Version. And the pretence of the narrative is consistent, through all coached runs, email communication and stats!
So I am surviving in Zombie-Land as runner 5, I am progressing in LeJOG Land as runner 7666 and in the real world I am beginning to wonder how I ever survived without running 🤷🏽♀️

Fantastic CBDB!! The Zombies have no chance catching you!! 🤩🤩!! Glad you’re having such fun runs!! It makes a big difference!! 😉 Clocking up those miles on LEJOG too! Perfect 👌🏽 😁😁❤️
Well done CBDB I haven't tried a zombie run yet, but I'm on holiday for the rest of the week so I'll have plenty of time to give it a go. I'm staying in Suffolk so not much by way of hills or traffic, so it should be ideal! 😉
Foggy here too this morning. Unlike you, my hands and head were OK. It was my torso (under two layers of running tops) that felt a bit chilly when I was out earlier.
😆 yes, torso was ok. My extremities are first to suffer! I do have a couple of sleeveless gilets (?), like a jumper jacket without sleeves, one with hoodie. And I love those. So I am now constantly on the lookout for zipped, sleeveless hoodies as I find them so versatile in terms of managing temperature.
Good run for you today CBDB, the Zombies had no chance of catching you, I like your fun runs with the Zombie App, it makes you enjoy all your runs, talking about fun runs, I ran a 12K this morning, I put it on to the Relive App, they named it a "fun run" for me.
Just had a look at that Relive App, and it does look like a lot of fun! It looks even more fun if you run with others! Do you rather use it for solo runs or social/group runs?
The sad truth is that I don't know anyone in my immediate neighbourhood that runs, so all of my runs, apart at parkruns have been solo, however, I have met Buddy34 at a parkrun.
You do love a good story CBDB to accompany you. Yes I too are having to wait for the light to lift, it’s a moveable feast every week! Glad you’re enjoying the runs great to do a 30 minute one to focus the mind.
Yes, and it’s so great to notice that the 30min runs now are so easy! And yes, I’m certainly a runner who needs something whispering, telling or coaching in her ear!
My next run will definitely be a zombie one, I tried it sometime ago and really enjoyed it....even found myself picking up the pace at the end to get through the electric gates of the camp🏃♂️🧟♂️ I didn’t realise it records your time and distance....thanks for the heads up on that 👍
