A fun way to run.

We briefly reviewed the Zombies, Run! app in my “Gamification, Culture, and Communication” class during the fall 2020 semester. In short, it’s a running app that simulates a zombie apocalypse. Playing Runner 5, the goal is to run to complete various missions. What’s special is that you can activate a feature where zombies randomly run after you! So you have to run fast if you don’t want them to catch you. I didn’t notice the time go by, and the two times the zombies ran after me were entertaining.
Today I went to get some tech supplies : https://zombiesrungame.com/zombielink/runs-detailed/21792612/public/
With the resources I found, I was then able to upgrade my base. I’m looking forward to my next run to unlock a new building.
I haven’t announced it yet, but I recently purchased several biometric sensors for a personal research project. So I took advantage of my Polar H10 to measure heart rates during my run/jog/walk session. I made the mistake of starting the run on the Polar app before I was ready; which explains the slow start and the 10-minute difference between times.
To combine the two apps, I had to download Google Fit.
