Zombies, Run! Season 3 is out now. It is an update to the ZR app, so you should be able to continue progress. If not, wipe the cache, relogin and setup the install again.
ZR3 appears to break gmusicfs, so I’m tinkering with settings to see if I can get it back, and it does appear to be VERY laggy at first start.
On the plus side, you can download the first two missions of Season 3, the Season 3 Radio, AND get a season pass for Season 3 at the moment. The update is backwards compatible so you can still play Season 1, Season 2, Race, Radio, Supply, and Airdrop missions.
Stats-philes will enjoy being able to see their stats on the app now.
The app seems to be pretty volatile, and I’ve had it ANR (App Not Responding) many times on me already.
Some interesting news about Zombies, Run Season 3 from the blog:
It’s been months in the planning - we started talking about our plot arcs and returning characters back in October 2013 - and we’ve got some fantastic surprises coming up, both in plot and in the guest writers we’ve managed to snag for this season. One thing we’ve wanted to do for ages was to introduce a bit of choice into the game for players. I know we’ve already got the base builder, and many of our Runner Fives have made amazing and beautiful Abel Townships. I thought it’d be fun to extend this kind of choice just a little bit, and give Runner Five a couple of options about what they’re actually going to do during the game. It’s this kind of thing that makes games-writing so dynamic and engaging. So, once or twice this season, you’ll be asked to make a decision. We had to think carefully about how to do this - for one thing, you don’t want to be having to stop and press a button while running! And it’s been a design principle from the beginning that we’ll never ‘punish’ the player too much. After all, you’re already out there running, so you’re already a hero! All this means that you won’t be able to destroy Abel with a single bad decision - but some of the things you do will have knock-on effects later in the game. And I’m excited to hear what you make of what we’ve done!
I think I’m coming down with some kind of cough. Possibly brought on as a result, or partially as a result of, the recent air pollution. It’s making me wheeze, and I’ve noticed a definite shortness of breath, or apparent reduced lung capacity.
Despite the Sheffield Half Marathon being cancelled moments before the start, thousands of runners disobeyed orders and decided to complete the race anyway.
In heart-warming and sometimes amusing scenes, the people of the Sheffield rallied behind the ‘rebel runners’ – handing out bottles of water and offering loud cheers and applause.
Organisers were ‘very reluctantly’ forced to cancel the race before its 9am start time because of ‘insufficient water’ being delivered by suppliers and a subsequent safety risk to runners.
If anyone tells you “You can’t achieve your goal”, just remember that there is only one person who can tell you what you can and can’t do – and that person is yourself.
With the right incentive and motivation, a human can do many wonderful things. I’ve seen this video many times, and always come back to it whenever I feel a dip in motivation. If he can do it, so can I.
Today’s target: 16K. Did 16.51K in just under 2 hours. Not my fastest or best time, but I’m pleased because 8K + 16.51K = 24.51K, which means I’ve done more than a Half Marathon distance over the course of the weekend.
Second day of the long run weekend, and it didn’t turn out too well. I decided to run my local park instead because the weather looked ominous. One lap around the park (about 1 mile), and my hamstring was hurting again. Seemed to ease up if I changed my running posture, though. So perhaps I picked this up because my running style is poor? I ended the run early to give it a rest, and maybe work on a better posture. I probably never had this feeling because I don’t normally do 15+K runs.
Still, on the plus side, a new trophy came my way:
First day of the long run weekend. Today’s target was 14K, which I hit in about 1hr 26mins. Endomondo Track here. I was using my Nike+ SmartWatch as well, and kept it going till I got home, which was another 3K. Total distance out: 17.2K, total time out: 1hr 58min 58secs.
No Endomondo PBs were broken on this run, but I did set several on Nike+: Farthest Run (17.2K), Longest Run (1hr 58min 58secs), Most Calories Burned (1,140kcal), Fastest 5K (28'51"), Fastest 10K (1'02'12"). I also got the Afternooner trophy (1500 Nike Fuel earned between 2pm and 5pm)
This was one of the longer runs I’ve done in a while, and coming down the last 3K, my hamstring in my right leg started to hurt.
Tomorrow’s target is 16K. If I clock that, my target of a 30K weekend will be achieved. In fact, I will have done more than a Half Marathon over the weekend. Most likely, I’ll use the same route as I took today, so by the end of tomorrow, I’ll have a double 17K under my belt.
Nearing the end of week 2 of my Half Marathon training plan, and this week we start doing regular long-distance runs on both weekend days. Saturday is 14K and Sunday is 16K. I am going to really ache on Monday. ^_^
