Restarting my Running Era with Zombies, Run!
My boyfriend (now fiancé) proposed last October 2025, and we're planning to get married next year (hopefully! Still saving up for the wedding). Have been trying to lose weight for a few months now bc I want to look good in my wedding gown. Wasn't really consistent until this month lang. From 71kg down to 64kg, although malayo pa since target weight ko is 55kg. Sobrang tamad ko mag-workout, as a trentahin na masakit na ang likod at tuhod. Huhu. Pero I didn't want my hard work to go to waste. I needed motivation to workout. I love watching zombie movies and series kaya I (re-)downloaded this app called Zombies, Run! I also bought a walking pad few years ago, so sakto! Zombies, Run! Is something like a running app na merong immersive storytelling where you have to accomplish missions, gather supplies during a zombie apocalypse. Pros: - You can curate your own Zombie Apocalypse playlist kasi it can connect to Spotify while you do your mission, pwede rin podcast Here's mine: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/180KskUKtWmTNKcQCL6nrc?si=y_dVZqkFRmCkhf8SAFpxuw&pi=D-1RPszpSUSOY - Interval running/training siya so you would have to run at a pace to avoid zombies during the chase - Perfect for beginners or people like me na nagre-restart ng workout journey - Ok para sa mga trentahin kasi duration ng isang mission is 30mins, 5K. Although mag-warm up ka muna before starting. - Great for habit formation - Great for indoor running, especially for a busy person like me! - Interactive, you can create your own base using supplies collected during the mission Cons: - Sa Google's Health Connect lang siya pwedeng i-connect since this is an old app (2012). - You have to have your phone with you while running para ma-pick up niya yung pace mo especially during the zombie horde chase. Would be better siguro if you use other running app with this one na mas accurate para you have other stats - Inaccurate step counts (maybe bc I was on a treadmill?) pero editable siya so just match the stats with your other app! There are other apps similar to this pa, pero would post them on another day! Happy running, girlies!
