Hi everybody! I couldn’t figure out a good place to put this so I’m going to put it here. All the running/fitness communities seemed dead.

I’ve recently gotten into running with my boyfriend for fitness and our general health. I get bored just exercising with nothing to do while I exercise, and I found an app a few years ago called “Zombies Run!”, which has a companion app called “Zombies Run 5K” that gets you slowly trained to run consistent 5k’s.

I really love it because it has some really great characters and a plot that you progress through by running.

I really wish other apps like this existed, that gamify working out, because I’m quite a lazy person who needs an extra reason to workout besides just “it’s good for me.” Being able to talk about the plot and characters with my partner is really helpful at keeping me motivated.

Has anyone else tried this app or apps similar to it?
