Zombies, Run! 2 – CNET Review

It looks like I’m not the only one to get p***sed off by the upgrade.

Running Pace

I’m trying to find an Android app that will notify me if I’m above/below/at target pace to help me with training for the Half Marathon. Whilst miCoach (which I use primarily) does this, it only does it once you’ve done an assessment run, and/or tweaked the pace zones yourself. I can use other apps such as Endomondo, RunKeeper, etc. to notify me of current and average pace based on time and/or distance travelled, but I’d like to know without having to wait for the next time/distance trigger.

Speaking of which, I might go back to myAsics training. Even though their app is crap, I could still make do with their training plan, and use Endomondo to monitor my pace. True, it won’t be accurate, but I guess I could set it to announce pace every five minutes.

 

Zombies, Run! – The End

Alright, I’m stopping playing Zombies Run until Six To Start sort out the sync bug. I’m going to backup the app, then uninstall it. On the plus side, since I’ve uninstalled it, I can also get rid of the music I downloaded onto my SD Card to work with it.

Tried to do an Assessment Workout before this run, and slightly impacted it (elevated heart rate at the start of the run). Also, burned out much more quicker this time as a result. I think I might do another one on my Thursday rest day. I aborted the Assessment Workout because it burned me out too quickly, although looking at the Assessment chart, it seems I should have tried to keep going….

No Zombies, Run! track, and there probably won’t be anymore, not until they sort out the synchronisation bug.

And here’s the actual run.

America

America has had a really, REALLY bad week this week.

First the Boston Marathon bombings, and now the explosion in West, TX.

Zombies, Run! 2

ZR2 still doesn’t like to play nicely with Runkeeper. I wonder if I run JUST ZR2 without Runkeeper, if that will work. If it does, I’ll report that as a bug.
