Week 4 Run 1: Walking with Zombies

[CBDB]

Ran Week 4 of C25k Zombie version this morning, but annoyingly it had more walking than running! Am I supposed to wander around with Zombies, or run away from them? Well, walking it was, for most of the run, which included:

- 5 min warmup walk

- 5 min running

- Repeat 5 times of ( knee lifts - 1 min slow WALK - 1 min fast WALK 😡)

- Repeat 5 times (1 min walking - 30 sec Running 😃)

- 15 min free form running 😃😃

By the time I got the the 15min running, I was halfway home, so I had to do a cool-down walk in the garden.😠

The walking sections really made me want to run. 🏃‍♀️

The 30 seconds of running in the next section also felt too short and two of them coincided with a downhill muddy, and another steep sloped section, where I rather walked. ☹️

So not quite as satisfying a run as I’d wished!

Next time, I’ll add another extending section at the beginning of the route, and I will run this circular route the other way around.

That way the walking sections will come during various slopes and muddy uphill sections, and the long level passage during the 15 min run.

Upwards and onwards! (And away from those Zombies!)

Think you must have the slow, shambling zombies 🧟‍♂️, definitely not the scary, speedy 28-days-later ones 🏃‍♂️

Good that you’re raring to go with the running. Maybe it’s all a cunning plan by the app developers. But I totally hear you on the runs coinciding with the wrong sections. It’s so frustrating.

And I am very amused by the thought of you having to do circuits around the garden.

Hope the next one is more to your liking but congratulations on getting this one under your belt.

Like your run walk today at least zombies nowhere in sight. What do you call the zombie run your doing , could you just walk it?

[CBDB Ambassador in reply to Doris8]

Yes, you probably could just walk it. The app is called Zombies, Run. 👍🏽

This sounds fun...maybe you are meant to walk around threateningly Cooling down around the garden Memories of me trying to get 1kn out of the perimeter of my property during the lockdown!You do see a lot of things you have never noticed though.!

I have never done the Zombie runs...is it worth trying?

[CBDB Ambassador in reply to Oldfloss]

Zombies, Run is quite fun. And it also is a run tracker. (And I do love a good app!)

I have it on with my music, as the story is being told in short bursts every 7 min or so.

One can try it for free, and I think it is a really well made app. So if you like having a bit of additional entertainment on one’s runs, it’s a good choice.
