Tracks: ZR (Beta track here), Endomondo

Target: 3 km Intervals 5:24 - 5:48 min/km. Completion time: 16:12 - 17:24 min

Achieved: 2.68 km, 5:30 min/km. Interesting run. This is the first time I’ve seriously tried to use the Zombie Chases option inside the Zombies, Run! app. The first chase happened at 0.47 km into the run. Easily evaded since I was pretty fresh into the run. The second chase happened 2.44 km into the run. I got caught this time. :-(. Interestingly fun, though.

Chases require you to go around 15% faster than your current speed, and can go up to a minute in sprinting. If you put enough distance between yourself and the zombie, you evade them. If you last more than a minute, you evade them. The chase started at 100m and I managed to get 110m between myself and the first zombie.

When the second chase happened, I hadn’t fully recovered from the first chase, so I got caught. But still, it helps push my training. I’m going to keep using this. Maybe I can throw it in during my long runs to help put some variety in my training.

Next run: Saturday – 5km 5:40 - 5:48 min/km. Completion time: 28:20 - 29:00 min
